tirescream Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 i recently updated my osx86 mac to 10.4.3 build 8f1111a using some of JaS's patches for sse3 processors with no NX. everything seems to work well. i had garageband2 installed when it was a 10.4.1 and it worked fine and the sound was fine. now the sound is kind of distorted when i play a preview loop in garageband. any suggestions on how to fix this.

os_overload Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 ya, im having a similar problem, except every time I open Garageband, the sound stops working. I have to copy a backup of the root Library folder to / in single user mode to hear anything again.

os_overload Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 ok, im back again. I am having the exact same problem with Garageband 3 from iLife 2006! Everytime I open it, the sound quits working during the initialisation process. In order to restore the sound, I have to copy a good version of the /Library folder which is saved on my desktop back to /Library again, overwriting it. This, however only restores the sound if it is done in singlw-user mode. A simple reboot is not the answer, the sound still doesn't work until I go into single user mode and perform the copy operation described above.

milton02 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi, I have the same exact problem. Sound worked fine since I started for the first time GarageBand from iLife 06. Now I can't hear anything. Unluckily I do not have any backup of my Library directory. so do you think I have to reinstall again the whole OS?

os_overload Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yep, I did a full reinstall. Then I made a copy of my Library and System folders. Then I figured out that it was just the Library folder that mattered. So ya, if you want sound you might have to. I still can't figure out what is in the Library folder that changes. I tried to set the real one in the root directory read only after fixiing, but it didn't work. I know that its Garageband, because I've played a song in iTunes while it opens and about 3 seconds into initialisation it cuts out. However iTunes and other software seem not to notice. It's really weird, and even worse that almost no one else is having the same problem. Im running 8F1111 with all (I think) of Maxxus' patches. I have an sse3 cpu with no xd bit so I needed to patch the iso, but couldn't modify myself under windows so I had to use a ppf patch. I got one with vmwaresound, ac97, and I think vmware nic along with the xd and sse2 patches. I still have the patch file and the original dmg image. Here's the patch info: Filelength : 21839984 Bytes Enc. Method : 2 (PPF3.0) Undo Data : Nope Blockcheck : Enabled Imagetype : Normal Image Description : PPF Patchdata : 21838900 Bytes File_ID.diz : Nope I'll try to see if I can find who I got it from (it was a link on this site, if that helps) i might just reinstall and use Jas's patcher v4.2b to make my dtk image of 8F1111 into a fully patched 8F1111A. that may solve the problems.

os_overload Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 ok, thanks. I hope this isn't related to using a patched kernel, because then there's not much we can do about it.

xPoWx Th3Myth Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I've noticed that when I start up OSX that the sound is on and is perfect, but as soon as I start Garage Band from iLife 06', I have no sound. If you look in Utilities under Audio MIDI Setup and go to Properties For:(your Audio Output) Garage Band will change the format to 44100.0Hz and 6ch-16bit. When I turned it back to 2ch-16bit my audio was restored, but for some reason the volume in the menu bar doesn't work. I hope this was helpful for some people Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5864-garageband-sound-problems/#findComment-52772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acerfun Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i have a perfect sound system with 8F1111 patched with JaS 4.2b. If you have crispy sound you should change the volume level on the slide .

MTBackus Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi I installed OSX using Goatsecx 10.4.6 DVD. I installed iLife '06 with Garageband and it was working fine, then I updated and now there isn't any sound in Garageband. I tried deleting the Garageband folder and reinstalling, but that doesn't work. Can anyone help?

xtraa Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi, if your sound stops working, try this: open programs/utilities and start the Audio Midi Configuration. Select the 6-channel sound and set it back to 2 Channel sound. Hope that works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5864-garageband-sound-problems/#findComment-157163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
