VoodooHDA instability

[msingh]

Thanks to this kext, my Dell D830's sound works, most of the time. Sometimes I find that the sound is crackly (nothing recognizable coming out the speakers). Then I have to:

$ sudo kextunload /Extra/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext
<a bunch of errors indicating that it cannot be unloaded>
$sudo kextload /Extra/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

 

I have the kext symlinked into /S/L/E.

 

Once I do this, I can sound back.

 

Has anyone seen this, or is there a prefpane setting that I need to set ?

i have same issue after sleep, but my VoodooHDA is in /System/Library/Extensions, just making ketxunload - kextload solves audio issues...
