Recently bought a new machine for hackintosh running 10.7

Specs :

i7 2600k 3.4 Ghz

Asus P8P67 motherboard

16 GB DDR3

Bose Companion 5 Speakers

 

Now when my computer is idle and there is no sound playing - the speakers have this buzz sound coming out of them which disappears as soon as I play another sound. While its doable to work with it but sometimes it just gets annoying.

 

Can anyone recommend a fix ?

 

Regards

I have the exact same problem.

But a different Mainboard. (Asrock z68pro)

 

This didn't happen in Snow Leopard btw. (I'm running Lion now)

From Apple Support about Bose Companion 5

 

"You have a common problem.

It's called "Ground Loop".

 

Try plugging the speaker's power cord into another AC outlet - than the one that the computer is plugged into."

 

The plugging into a new AC fixed the problem for me :D
