29 Aug Snow leopard coreaudiod -bug? Written by: ame235 If you upgrade to Snow Leopard & coreaudiod is using all your RAM, type: (obviously Apple + C / Apple + V !!! ) (Apple + C only if you know how line feeds work when pasting in terminal) user@computer:$ sudo mv /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist ~/ in Terminal window. This solved my problem. Credits to Brian Wilson.

   I have the same problem. Coreaudiod is running and using all the memory and slows down the whole system. I am not familiar with the terminal application I type the commando followed by enter and then the password. Then the program returns with this usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source … directory can you tell me what to do? If I stop with manually the coreaudiod then the performance is good again. But the process starts every time again. Thanks Hans Heijnsdijk, The Netherlands

   If you have access to your system with mouse and GUI try just moving the file like that, It should do the trick. BTW, after many days using snow Leopard without coreaudiod file, looks to me that that file is completely useless, and in my opinion you can also Trash it. (moving is just for bkup*)
