Motawa Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hey. Im using a external sound card. Everything works well. But now the sound is really "cracking". It sounds like my computer is not fast enough. But it is. When i use my onboard sound it works well. But i need the external soundcard for recording (the input from the external soundcard doesnt work very well too) Also my webcam seems to work only 1 out of 10 (when i plug and unplug it) and often i get a weird "chippunk" sound from the microphone(my voice is seems really fast and pitchy) My other usb devices seem to work good tough. Using a asus p5b. 10.6.6 vanilla installation. Everything else works great.

Using a asus p5b. 10.6.6 vanilla installation. Everything else works great. I have the same USB problem. I use Creative X-MOD USB sound card, which is supported by Mac, and it makes awful noise and sometimes it even stops playback at all ! I guess the ports on the motherboard are wacky in a way, I don't know, what's the problem ? Onboard is fine. Thanks.

whya Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Could either of these problems be related to the sample rate being different between the application's settings and the audio driver's settings (in System Preferences->Sound) i.e. one is at 44.1 khz and the other is at 48 khz???

There is no sample rate given in sound preferences. Only in the Audio Midi utility. Nothing to compare.

whya Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry, I meant to check the sample rate in the Audio Midi Setup against the sample rate configured in whatever application is being used.

Motawa Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 It has nothing to do with sample rates. It happens completely random. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/242257-usb-sound-problems/#findComment-1620047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
