lunacy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 This seems to be the last hurdle I've got in getting a totally usable OS X install. Sometimes, audio is sometimes scratchy. I can still understand the whatever's being said etc, but it sounds kind of scratchy or "farty." It's a little difficult to describe. I first attempted this with my Creative XMod which would give me farty audio the whole time, no matter what. I've now installed an Audigy 1 which seems fine until the CPU load gets kind of high. I've attempted some searching around for the issue but it's difficult to find anything useful since there's no good way to describe this issue. The one little bit of information I've managed to find is that the issue is caused by improper reading of the FSB settings. The solution was to upgrade Chameleon, but the iDeneb disc I used seems to already use the newest version. Other than that, is there a way to manually declare the FSB speed in the bootloader? Is that really the underlying cause of this issue? I greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me!

lunacy Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Update: It seems that upgrading from Voodoo 9.4.0 to Voodoo 9.5.0 RC1 fixed this issue. Update 2: The kernel update seems to have fixed quite a few of my other problems, namely the bug I had with VLC (not the copy included with iDeneb 1.3, which worked fine until the previously mentioned sound issue drove me insane) that would cause video to freeze but audio to continue while playing. All video plays fine now, box has been up for thirteen hours fifteen minutes with no issues, and no scratchy audio issue.
