sound crackles with voodoohda and firefox

[steftrikia]

Hi,

 

When I use Firefox or Thunderbird, sound crackles/glitches with voodooHDA. It began when I installed Lion. I didn't have this problem with snow leopard.

When I quit firefox or thunderbird the problem disappears.

 

I have reinstalled firefox and thunderbird, and deleted all caches and preferences.

I've removed /Users/Library/Mozilla, /Users/LibraryFirefox, etc, but the problem remains.

I also removed IRQs of RTC in my DSDT, same problem.

 

I have this error in kernel logs : PCMDIR_PLAY intr triggered beyond stream boundary: 00000028

 

I'm using an Asus Moca-ar motherboard, which is based on an intel 945 chipset, with alc888s, so appleHDA doesn't work. I have to use voodooHDA even with the good HDEF dsdt edit.

 

Any idea ?

I use chimera 1.5.4 but I have tried with chameleon : same problem.

Same problem with iMac 9,1 or 11,1 defs.

 

Thanks for your help

it allows me to show the alc888 device information in system informations. It's only cosmetic, as I don't load appleHDA.kext

but voodoohda tries to work with what "hardware it sees" so its not cosmetic.
