Hi all,
The issue I'm having is driving me insane. I've searched far and wide for a solution but other peoples have not been my own.
I'm using a Gigabyte G1 Z5S Sniper board and I use both a Propellerhead Balance (USB Interface) or a Focusrite 6i6 (USB Interface). Both experience the same issue, which is that after about 5-10 minutes the audio will slowly become staticy and lose quality to the point where it sounds godawful and sounds 8bit. The audio then eventually stops.
The only way to fix it again (for another 5-10 mins) is to toggle the audio output to another source then back to the original output. I can also change the frequency from say 41 to 48 or 96 in audio midi setup. It eventually comes back though.
It's not related to flash or google chrome, because I don't have chrome and even when I don't open a browser, the issue will occur while I play music from Spotify.
I've tried using different AppleUSBAudio.kext files. One from 10.6.8, and also the one from Yosemite which is the OS I'm currently running. I've also tried different SMbios options such as iMac 13,2 etc. Still the static and quality loss comes back. This issue was happening in Mavericks as well, which is why I gave up on Hackintosh last time. I really want to get the audio working because everything else on my Hackintosh is working perfectly now.
I should add that in Windows, the audio is perfect from these interfaces.
Any ideas on what I can try to rectify this?
