SoundGen taking signficantly more memory than it should

[Omar-afk801]

So I just tried out the new music generation feature(s) in the android version of the app, however, while the app states that the SoundGen (the model that's 1 GB large) feature needs 4 GB of RAM, when I actually tracked my RAM usage when generating a sound, no matter how short or long I set it to be, it always shows a RAM usage of 8-9 GB, slowly crashing on my 12 GB RAM Android device, more than twice the intended memory usage, this sounds physically impossible as it's literally just a 1 GB file.
I'm assuming this may be some sort of memory leak from the app rather than the model itself.

Only hd long crashes, I tested in box app it crashes too, other 2 models are fine for me, did other 2 models crash for you as well?

Of course HD long would crash because it's the heaviest, but I literally used the smallest SoundGen model and it uses 8-9 GB of RAM, then crashes, testing the other models isn't needed to confirm this.
In fact, the other models would need even more than 8-9 GB of RAM.
I tested them anyways and yup, they also crash.

What's your phone model? Let me see if I can get a remote device to test

It's the Realme 14 5g using the 12 GB RAM configuration.

Hey @timmyy123.
I have some major updates about the SoundGen feature, I just tested the normal SoundGen feature (the "quick" one) on my phone in the box app and it actually doesn't crash at all, in fact, it can generate an 11s audio track in under 25 seconds, so this is clearly a problem with the app itself rather than my hardware or the model.
