I have been trying to get my VoodooHDA system preference pane to save the input gain level (which defaults to high, and produces white noise upon startup) that I keep having to change every time I boot up. When I change the gain to zero, the white noise goes away and the sound is great. It will stay this way until my computer restarts and then it is as if I never changed the input gain setting (goes back to default of high). Does anyone know how to make these changes in the system preferences permanent?
 
copy voodoohda.kext to your desktop. right click, show package contents, click contents.

then open info.plist. then find in there what you want to change, and then save, and use a kext helper or kext beast or the like to reinstall the edited kext.
 
Thanks for your reply.

Maybe this is the problem - I can't find anything called voodoohda.kext. I do have voodoohda.prefPane which I am able to do as you suggest. However this is what I see when I open info.plist

I don't see anything with a value for input gain. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
 
Yes, your are correct (just displaying my minimal set of skills for the entire forum). I was able to find that kext (though finder doesn't see it with default settings, and not sure if there are settings that would allow it to be seen).

Everything works! Used kext beast to install.

Thanks for your help!
