Hi guys I've finally figured out the issue with kernel_task 50-60% cpu usage on my machine, and it's based on an older issue that @the-darkvoid had flagged on Mojave days. It's due to the incompatibility of LineIn with the existing AppleALC.kext. Disabling the kext removes the issue but I'm without sound. This issue only happens on the i7-8550U motherboard, not the i7-7500U board.
Question is: has anyone else seen this (on big sur) and how has it been solved?
UPDATE: Finally solved. Had to install the combojack daemon in usr...
