Templeton Peck Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I don't know if this helps, but I remember my sound breaking one time, and I was able to fix it in Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI setup. Anyway, there's additional controls there (like choosing between SPD/IF and PCM for default output).
