Ok, so i was playing around and found this

 

Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup

 

Go to Properties For -> AC97 Audio (PCM)

 

There should be two, one is input, the other is output

 

the output is what we want

 

Now...

 

Theoretically the problem with higher pitch is due to a Hz imbalance..

and right there on the right, we have the frequency

 

It seems to be too low...

 

Change it to 48000hz

 

That fixed it for me

 

 

Hope it works

 

Good luck

Just in case anyone can help me on this, I only have an input on the audio midi setup, there is no output (Although I am able to play music almost flawlessly, I just checked a movie and it was all crackly). I was also wondering if anyone knew how to properly install a midi driver so that you could play a keyboard in garageband. Please I am new to this so if I am doing something wrong please correct me. Thanks for your time.

Hey,

I have been patiently searching before asking this now. I still have chipmunks in my hack. Audio input and output work (onboard ac97) but the output is still high pitched. In my case, changing the sampling frequency does not make a difference!!

Any Ideas? Anyone still having that problem?

Thanks.

 

My Specs:

Dell Precision 530

Dual Xeon 2 Ghz (Prestonia Core, SSE2)

10.4.8 JaS DVD (patched)

Just gone to try this. It is showing up as AC97pcm as my default device but only as input there is nothing there for output. Everything is plugged in correctly.

 

I have bought a usb sound card waiting for it to arrive.
