I get a lot of noise too, but the VoodooHDA prefpane fixes that. Notice however that I have VoodooHDA kext installed, not Toleda's. Also, I have to use the pref pane after each reboot to fix the noise:Do you all have clean audio? I'm getting a lot of hiss from my speakers?
1. Select the correct PCI path: the shortest (see screenshot).
2. Different outputs are available.
3. Move the "Input Gain" slider.
4. Select the PCI path again.
This should remove the noise. It works on my headphones.
Besides this issue, VoodooHDA gives a loud crack when it loads, so it is recommended to boot with speakers off or not wearing headphones. Note that there is no issue with HDMI out, except that I can't control the volume level with the OS, only with the monitor.
Also note that I used VoodooHDA in my two previous hacks (a laptop and a desktop from 2012) and both had similar issues: sound cracks at boot and needing to fiddle with the VoodooPrefpane each time we reboot. There is a Voodoo app that should save/load the prefpane settings at boot, but I never understood how it works. I used it for a while without it doing anything, and then one day it worked and the Voodoo settings were loaded properly at boot. At the moment it hasn't work for me on this system...
