I got my hackintosh running successfully. I got my sound working, but it seems to be very low, and poppy / crackling. I was wondering if there is a tweak for this? or can I use a different sound card... I have a Auzentech XPlosion DTS which is a awesome card, but I have read that it is not compatible with snow leopard. Any thoughts on this?

I am using a Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L board v1.1. And I have the other sound card if I can use it.

I believe it uses the ALC883 driver btw. And yes I have applied the patches, etc. I used the ES2L kit.

Thanks in advance!
