Windows Audio Device, runs when certain sound applications are used like Teamspeak3. Solution to CPU % increase: select Windows Audio Session for Capture and Playback device.

this is not normal, this means that win 7 is apparantly not properly developed yet, atleats in my opinion, audiodg.exe using 400mb mem and no cpu, is sitll bad .

Audio processor. Uses a good chunk of CPU time but isn't dangerous.

Landed here when I got a notice from Commodo that audiodg.exe was trying to open IPv6 connection. Didn't catch the target address, sadly.

Check when it was last modified. If it was last modified recently, it's probably infected. But if it was last modified a long time ago, such as mine being 2010, then it's fine.
