schnullimaus Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi everyone, I am running 10.5.3 on a Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P Board with a 2.83GHz Dual Core. I did run through the JaS 10.5.3 upgrade. Sound is basically working. I have both the onboard sound and an external Soundblaster Live! USB Box up-and running. However, there are some problems which only occour using the 9.3.0 Vanilla kernel, but that do not occour using 9.3.0 modbin kernel. (The same is true for 9.2.0 Kernels: Vanilla has problems and hacked kernel is fine) The problem is the following: Sound is sometimes disrupted und does not play "cleanly". For instance, when using Front Row sound is fine unless I start to navigate though the menus while the song is playing, then I have jerky sound. Another way of testing is to open a terminal, and hit the Backspace key frequently. Using a modded Kernel everything is fine even when hitting the key very fast (which makes the "Bong" play because there is nothing to delete) When I run the vanilla kernel hitting the Backspace key in Terminal frequently gives poor audio. Can someone confim that? (I think it is not too specific to my Hardware setup because it happens to me with 2 different soundcards) Any solutions to that other than not using the vanilla kernel? Thanks a lot Stephan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110410-sound-problem-with-vanilla-kernel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
radishs Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I got same issue on both my Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L (ALC888)，Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3(ALC889a) Try any dump even HDAEnabler、Efi Audio All got same result. Any one can help? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110410-sound-problem-with-vanilla-kernel/#findComment-782330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haysoos123 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Ah, very interesting. I just posted with the exact same issue. I have a GA-EP35-DS3R (ALC889a). So, I'm glad to know that it's not just me, but so far I have not found a solution. It only happens with the vanilla kernels, too. The modded kernels seem to be just fine for some reason. -H Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110410-sound-problem-with-vanilla-kernel/#findComment-783926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
packrobottom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm running a Gigabyte ep35-ds4 with a Q9300 cpu. Same issue here modded kernels sound is great if I switch to vanilla (I'm on 9.2.0) the sound works but if I'm playing an mp3 and delete trash it crackles and breaks/stops the current sound. It's like 2 sounds can't play at once. I really want to resolve this as for me performance is much better on the vanilla kernel. btw I'm running kalyway 10.5.2 are you guys using kalyway. I was thinking maybe a retail install would fix this.

packrobottom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 bump! anyone? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110410-sound-problem-with-vanilla-kernel/#findComment-794045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haysoos123 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 bump! anyone? packrobottom, please take a look at this thread. the vanilla kernel not properly recognizing the machine's bus speed seems to be a likely reason for the glitch.

radishs Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 packrobottom, please take a look at this thread. the vanilla kernel not properly recognizing the machine's bus speed seems to be a likely reason for the glitch. After read that thread, I found my clock time got same issue, vanilla kernel FSB problem seem the Key to Solve this all. PS. When I Apply old Toh 9.2.0 Kernel, all sound and clock back to normal....

paratox Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 any news? i`ve the same problem with audio (ep35-ds4, audio 889a) on vanilla 9.4.0 kernel. wich kernel should i use instead for my board? is chameleon efi a solution? EDIT: downgradet to 9.3.0 vanilla kernel and the sound bugs dissapeared. would be nice to get it to work with 9.4.0.

paratox Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 ok, after a reboot today the sound problem resists with the 9.3.0 vanilla kernel. is there another kernel wich performs nearly the same like vanilla and works with my board?

radishs Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Forgot to report on this topic. All issues (Sound, Slow clock etc...) can be solved by APPLY Chameleon EFI , Both works in vanilla 9.3.0 (10.5.3) and 9.4.0 (10.5.4) kernel.

paratox Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 very good news! the only problem is i don`t know how i should use chameleon with grub of my ubuntu installation. at now i have a boot file from efiv8 in the boot folder and a entry in the menu.lst of grub. how should i handle chameleon?

schnullimaus Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 can confirm: chameleon EFI instead of PC_EFI seems to solve the problem. Sound is ok so far and TimeOfDay-Clock keeps it's time even without NTP. Good Luck!
