sjburk Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I installed Mac snow leopard as virtual machine in vmware by instructions from this video: I cant get the audio workin properly though. Its there and i can hear it but its broken, gargled, crackled, whatever just very distorted and lots of pops and crackles plus usaully the audio sounds like its been slowed a bit. I ran the vmtools and the ensoniq audio drivers and rebooted and all but still cannot get the audio working properly. Any ideas??

beecher Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Well I hate to break this to you but unfortultly there is no way to fix it without buying something Zenith432 stated that because of how vmware works there is now way to fix this without 1: Reverse enginerring the apple core audio framework and making it not check the buffer drain 2: Change something in vmware But however if you buy a usb sound card you might be able to fix the issue And when your buying a usb sound card make sure its compadible with os x snow And then connect the sound card to the virtual machine and install the nessary drivers And that should fix the issue Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265364-sound-issues-vmware-snow-lepoard-empireefi/#findComment-1733623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjburk Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 So ur sayin that is has to do wit mac and vmwares audio engines and stuff an i need another sound card. Any recommendations for sound cards u think would work good in this situation? Preferably something cheap and usb interface just to be able to use the audio without spendin alot or installin new hardware Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265364-sound-issues-vmware-snow-lepoard-empireefi/#findComment-1733635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkmystere Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This is a really extremely late reply, but I wanted to share my solution: 1) Download & Install Soundflower http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/ 2) In the menubar icon select it for the "2ch" select VMware audio device 3) hover mouse on Soundflower 2ch-> 4) Set buffer to 64 if that doesn't work play with settings, 64 works perfectly for me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/265364-sound-issues-vmware-snow-lepoard-empireefi/#findComment-1836148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
