Akshunhiro Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hey all. I have a minor problem you may be able to help me with. This has been occurring since I installed Snow Leopard, I didn't have this problem with Leopard but here goes. My vanilla install is damn near flawless except the machine doesn't sleep (well it does, just doesn't wake from sleep), only sometimes completes a shutdown (fans continue to run) and every now and then the audio will go all crackly when pausing and replaying or random times between stopping or changing new media. I've linked a file to show what I mean. I have a Logitech Z-5500 speaker setup and have connected to the PC with an optical lead. I have also tried this with a coaxial lead and it does the same BUT it does not do it with a standard 3.5mm stereo jack but I prefer to use digital for surround sound. When this occurs, I simply switch outputs from the Sound preference in System Preferences (just switch from digital output to internal speakers and back again) but this is getting frustrating. I have also tried switching inputs on the Logitech but it still continues which leads me to believe it's Snow Leopard. I really need help as to what I should do to remedy this. I was initially using a patched DSDT and tried to edit it to support sleep but that didn't work so I gave up and reverted back to the old DSDT I had for this board. I also had errors when trying to create the new DSDT so not sure what was going on there but that was another reason I reverted back. Now, I am using SMBIOS.kext via Chameleon. Still have shutdown and sleep problems but the system is working so I'm not too concerned. I also saw that there was a DSDT auto patcher but not for my board. Will any of the other ASUS ones work? Oh and I used Taruga's patch to get audio working in SL. I did find some LegacyHDA kext and tried applying it but it didn't make a difference. Apologies if this has been covered, I could not find anything while searching and believe me, I have been searching long and hard! http://upload.ihasaids.com/data/1288639970.mp3 Thanks in advance!

Akshunhiro Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Whoops. Sorry, I am using a patched DSDT for audio. Just tried using the new editor, pulling info from IOReg and recompiling with 1988B patch included with the editor, rebooted and on it now. Trying to replicate the problem.

Akshunhiro Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 OK, still occurring with the freshly patched DSDT. I really don't know why this could be happening. It doesn't happen under Windows 7. It's happens most commonly at 96000Hz 24bit. Played around with it some more and it is definitely occurring more often when set to 96000Hz. Got to sound tinny again and changed the frequency to 88200Hz and it sounded fine again, changed it back to 96000Hz and sounded tinny again. Changed output to Internal Speakers (Line-Out going to headphones) and back again and it sounds fine again, pause the song playing in iTunes, press play again and sounds like {censored}... The more I play with it, the more it annoys me! I could really use some help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
