Kobnar Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I am having a problem with my sound... I've been reading around a lot about different sound cards and patching techniques but I haven't found much on ICH8 Intel HD Audio cards. When I boot up OSX I can start iTunes with about 3 seconds of glorious sound. The sound will die after a brief playback or immediately if I try to change the volume. My device is recognized in [ system preferences > sound ] and in the system profiler. I figure that since the sound works for a couple seconds the drivers have to work... just something is making it STOP working. My system: HP dv9700 - installed with Kalyway 5.5.2 DVD Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz) - Vanilla Kernel GeForce 8600M 512MB - 256MB support with NVinjector 4.1 (custom NVCAP value) ICH8 Intel HD Audio - ??? lcpci output of the Audio Device: [...] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [...] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140084-ich8-hd-audio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobnar Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Update: I was talking to my brother who uses a MacBook who told me about this nuisance he has when using his composing program in which the sound cuts out in some way... anyways: That lead me to the discovery that my sound only cuts out when the volume spikes. I booted up my computer with the volume all the way down and discovered that my sound works fine so long as I don't turn it up beyond about 40% -- that's when it dies. So now, I have sound but it's very quiet. I decided to see if I could get any other kind of feedback from my computer when the sound died so I opened up the Console (system log) and killed the sound by turning it up.... nothing. So I have quiet sound. Any ideas on how to get my sound to NOT cut out?

p_noch Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi, I'm having the exact same problem but only with 10.5.x version of AppleHDA. This weird issue fixed with old AppleHDA (10.4.11) but only downside is external mic is also showing as internal. and no 100% 10.5.6 vanilla Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140084-ich8-hd-audio/#findComment-1048298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
