Bad mic input with Creative Live! Cam Chat HD VF0790

[Acey]

I bought a USB Cam/Mic to use with my hackintosh and while the video is working fine, the audio input is not.

If I look at the Input level in System Preferences > Sound > Input, it is wildly fluctuating even when the room is silent. If I record my voice, there is a lot of static, my voice is extremely faint and the pitch is way off.

I have tested this USB Cam/Mic on my genuine MacBook Pro and it works fine, but not with my hackintosh.

My system info:
Clover boot-loader
GA-Z77 DS3H Motherboard
Using the ALC887/888b kext, injected via Clover (Audio Id: 1 in clover.plist)

If there's anything else I can provide, let me know. Thanks for any help!

Did you ever find a fix to this?

Oh! Yes I did! I needed to choose a different format. I don't have the same setup so I can't remember exactly, but I swapped from 48khz to 44khz or something like that in the Audio MIDI Setup app (I think?). Sorry it's vague, been a while.
