renegadeandy Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Ok so - im on a Mac OS X 10.4.8 on kernel 8.8.1 and its all good. However, my music and sounds all play far too fast . It seems as if the music counter is even going too faasst also. Is there anybody else out there who can offer any explanation as to why this could be happening and how to fix it? Thanks very much Andy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43851-sound-plays-too-fast-and-crackles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
badge Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Something in your setup is probably set to "Sample Rate= 48kHz" This would cause standard audio files (44.1 kHz) to play back faster. Are you using onboard audio? Do you have a usb or firewire audio box? pci? You may also want to check Audio Midi Setup, I believe there is a sample rate drop down in there.

badge Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) open up Audio Midi Setup (Applications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup), and set "Built In Audio (Output) = 44100 Hz; 2 ch; 16 bit" oh and make sure you change output, not input Edited February 28, 2007 by badge Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43851-sound-plays-too-fast-and-crackles/#findComment-313644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ramm Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If the FSB change won't do it, try updating the kernel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43851-sound-plays-too-fast-and-crackles/#findComment-315199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeandy Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Em, how do i try the FSB thing again - worth a shot. My Kernel version is 8.8.1 and im on 10.4.8 on an Athlon sse2, is this not the latest kernel.

Guest Ramm Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 It may not be the latest 8.8.1 kernel (there are different version of 8.8.1). BTW, at boot type FSB=[fsb setting] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43851-sound-plays-too-fast-and-crackles/#findComment-317269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pspftw Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hello. I'm having this exact problem in 10.4.8 (my system didn't like the 10.4.9 update): audio's playing too fast, and sometimes it's a little garbled, but the information here didn't help. My onboard AC 97 audio (on an Intel board) is already set at 48khz, but I also tried the available 44.1khz option. Tried using the FSB= method on startup as well, but no luck. I do have a Soundblaster 16 PCI card which works at normal speed, but it's extremely distorted. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues. Everything else is running fine, so any info's appreciated. Thanks.
