Gnome Volume Control High CPU Usage

I have an interesting problem.
When I boot into Arch, my CPU usage is farly low. Jumping around 0 - 10% or so.
But as soon as I open up Gnomes Volume Control window. Cpu usage jumps up to 50 - 60% and stays there, No matter if the windows open or not.

My front channel is also at 0% on boot, so I normally go into the Volume Control to bring that up.
I noticed using alsamixer in the terminal will prevent the cpu usage from going so high. But if I open Gnome's Volume Manager, I have to log out, and log back in to get cpu usage back to normal. Is there anyway to avoid this or fix this issue?

Hmm, oh well. I can avoid using it I guess. I can live with 'alsamixer' for now.

Hope theres a fix soon though.
