BrumBrum74 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 After upgrading to 10.4.9 using Jas 10.4.8 dvd and Koolkal 10.4.9 upgrade the sound is chopping when playing sound messages for emptying trash etc. The system sounds. but if i play a video on Youtube sound is fine. Anybody got a clue what might be wrong? Running a Fujitsu Siemens Core Solo, 1,5gb ram, Azalia sound drivers (works perfect in 10.4.8). Sound - Connexant AMON (recognized as Intel High Definition audio). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarForge Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 This has to do with the FSB speed. Find out what you FSB speed is and divide it by 4, then at boot use: FSB=133 as a boot option. I've mine set that way and sound now works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrumBrum74 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hello StarForge. Thanks for the reply. But how can I check my fsb and how can I change it the easiest way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarForge Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If you do a Google search for your laptop you should be able to find FSB information. The easiest way to get to tell the kernel you FSB is from the Darwin boot screen (I've found, not tried the boot.plist method yet). Just at the prompt where you can normally change the partition to boot from, type "FSB=xxx" and enter at the OS X partition (assuming you're dual boot or more).

BrumBrum74 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks StarForce. Setting the speed to 133 worked fine with the sound but CPU speed was wrong. So when I set FSB to 166 all is perfect. THanks for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrumBrum74 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 If I now only could find out what to write in the com.apple.boot.plist to set fsb=166 on every boot. I can open the file and edit it, but no clue what to write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't need to edit anything. simple erase the one you have in the system root and copy netka's instead. Just google for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythandoryx Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Downloading!!

ni_lus Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Set default fsb for boot... The default value for FSB is 200 Mhz if you do not specify anything. So you should check your motherboard spec and the CPU you are using. I was booting with 200 Mhz but in fact needed 133 Mhz. (Pentium D805 is 533 Mhz). Thus my clock was too slow, and sound was {censored}. Let say your motherboard support 533 and 800 Mhz FSB, but your processor is 533 Mhz. Then you should set FSB at boot to 533/4 = 133 Mhz. It is very IMPORTANT that you set the correct FSB speed. Mifki just released a new version of his 10.4.8 kernel. Now you can specify the frequency of the FSB as a boot option. fsb=<mhz> Download here: www.filefactory.com/file/f618b4 Semthex kernel does also include the possibility at boot to choose a FSB frequency. The default value is 200Mhz. If you want different value, you have 3 possibilities. For 100 Mhz: use the -g boot option flag For 133 Mhz: use the -y boot option flag For 166 Mhz: use the -z boot option flag Tips: Once you know your FSB, you can put it as default value for your boot args. Just edit: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist You should set this if using semthex kernel and 133 Mhz FSB: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-y</string> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikronz Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What would be the boot option flag for 266 mhz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
