Audio Buzzing/Crackling with Leopard Upgrade

I've recently upgraded to Leopard and am experiencing a strange issues.
Immediately following the upgrade, I can now hear an attached USB drive spinning up and down through the speakers. Clicking mouse buttons periodically results in popping/cracking sounds through the speakers. It seems that any firewire/USB activity is now causing line-noise through the audio.
If I switch everything (audio cable, firewire & USB devices) over to a Tiger Mac Mini, no buzzing/crackling comes through the speakers.
I figure that Apple changed the audio gain or something, or there is another thing I am missing.
Has anyone else experienced this same issue?
Any insight would be much appreciated.

It could be a driver problem. Are you using any 3rd party audio drivers?
You might also check into the main Leopard forum where you will get many more replies and probably a solution.

My audio did not change, either on my G5 or MBP, but I don't use my external HD in the USB mode, but I certainly do not hear any mouse clicks via the speakers.
You might simply have a bad ground or broken wire or something.

  • How to install a clean install with leopard upgrade DVD!

    Does somebody know how to do an clean install with a Leopard upgrade DVD?
    I bought my MacBook for 1 week ago, and them said that i would get leopard sent later. And when i get it, its a upgrade cd that i cant install only leopard on my ny frsh hard-drive. *** apple?

    First, there is no such thing as a "clean install" option in OS X. But the "cleanest" install is to start with a reformatted drive (using Disk Utility's "Partition" tab), followed by an install of the OS that will be cleansed of any traces of OS or file system corruption. (The "unclean" options, "Upgrade" & "Archive & Install" won't be possible, & the erase part of "Erase & Install" is at this point redundant.)
    However, if you use Setup Assistant (which runs after rebooting) or Migration Assistant to bring over copies of old system components, applications, & settings, you may be reintroducing something "unclean" from the old versions.
    This said, if your up-to-date disk is just an updater (nobody seems to know yet), you can do a "cleanest possible" install by following the above with your original Tiger Installer disk, letting it reboot & not importing anything during setup, & then following the instructions supplied with the up-to-date disk to upgrade. At this point, you may want to clone the startup disk for future reference, before adding back in your apps & user files by whatever method(s) you chose.

  • E-mail folders that did not come through with Leopard upgrade

    I had many e-mail folders in my Apple Mail that did not come through in my Leopard upgrade. I do have them backed up on a Lacie. Any easier suggestions then going to the back up. Can you drag from the abckup to the new e-mail set up on Leopard

    I found them.

  • Yamaha AP-u70 stopped working as Output device with Leopard upgrade

    Hello,
    I have upgraded my PowerBook G4 to Leopard. The only problem I see, is that my external sound device, a YAMAHA AP-U70, which worked nicely as a sound output device, is now only recognized as Input device.
    When I log the plug in with USB Prober, I see:

    Has anybody an Idea, what happens and if this issue can be resolved?
    kind regards,
    André

    Use another audio output device, is the way I see it. I don't think this issue will be addressed, there simply aren't enough of us to warrant any time spent on a fix. I'm going to start looking at other USB D/A converters, and just run their analog output to one of the analog ins on my Yamaha. Or scrap the yamaha altogether for something with a little more headroom and cleaner PA stage -- love my AP-U70 as I may, it was always a bit rough around the edges, and started clipping -- even soft clipping -- way too soon. My biggest concern is how I was under the impression that as long as USB audio worked, my Yamaha would work, since I thought USB audio was a common platform that all devices played nice with. If that's the case, how many more smaller-user-base USB devices are being dropped from the "friendly" list during OS updates? Will I plug an older digital camera in one day to find that it is no longer supported? Or my Harmony remote? What next?

  • Bootcamp 2.0 - WinXP Home - Audio Playback Crackles with Realtek Drivers

    Hi Fellow Posters,
    I'm hoping that someone can help me out here. Installation of WinXP via Boot Camp 2.0 on my Intel MacBook went flawlessly. Installation of Boot Camp WinXP drivers was also successful. Now, here comes the kicker. When playing audio through the built-in speakers in WinXP, there is a noticable crackle during playback. The drivers installed for the sound card are Realtek drivers, which produce no problem under Leopard.
    Would this have been an issue if I was running WinXP via Parallels Desktop for MAC as opposed to installing XP under Boot Camp.

    Spent most of the weekend tweaking these settings but none helped. Installed the latest Realtek WinXP drivers... that didn't help. I haven't tested this with all audio... but the audio crackle in question seems to occur with old audio... old as in the Star Trek Encyclopedia CD Rom audio.
    This ran without problems or issue under WinXP on my Dell Inspiron 640m notebook and I had dared hope that it would run on WinXP under bootcamp on my MACBook. It just goes to show doesn't it... an APP written to RUN on Win95/98/ and PowerPC MAC OS ran without modification on WinXP wheres it won't run on MAC OSX. Ah well... I'll have to keep researching a solution because I'm not prepared to give up on the MAC after just switching from PC after some twenty odd years.

  • Preserving Comcast Connection with Leopard Upgrade

    My computer is messed up somehow; I haven't been unable to upgrade to Leopard, and I can't even clone my hard drive. So I'm just copying one folder at a time to my external hard drive, after which I'm going to try Leopard's Erase and Install option.
    One of the first things I'm going to want to set up if I get Leopard installed is my Internet connection. I have an account with Comcast. Does anyone here know what files or information I need to copy to make sure I can still connect via Comcast?
    On another note, I've discovered that if I unplug my Comcast cord, I'm often still connected to the Internet. It appears that my computer has automatically logged into someone else's account...I guess. This stuff is still new for me.
    It would be great if I could hitch a ride and not have to pay for service. But is it legal?
    Thanks.

    "...One of the first things I'm going to want to set up if I get Leopard installed is my Internet connection. I have an account with Comcast. Does anyone here know what files or information I need to copy to make sure I can still connect via Comcast?"
    Nothing specific. Your Mac should detect the signal from your modem and you're there.
    "On another note, I've discovered that if I unplug my Comcast cord, I'm often still connected to the Internet. It appears that my computer has automatically logged into someone else's account...I guess. This stuff is still new for me."
    Your airport card is probably picking up someone's wireless router. If you are able to get on the internet via their wireless access then their router is open and not password protected. There are always discussions whether this is a legal or moral issue. I believe you should have your own service and not jump into someone else's just because they are stupid enough to leave the door open.

  • Reconstituting iTunes after problems on G5 with Leopard upgrade.

    Where do all of the iTunes bits reside on a system? I need to reconstitute iTunes after problems upgrading from Tiger to Leopard using "archive and install".

    Sorry,
    This is just a user to user forum. If anyone has a fix or work around they will help.
    Best to send feedback to Apple ~ Link under the Numbers tag on the menu bar.

  • ARD Version 2.0 - Can't run with Leopard Upgrade and can't upgrade to ARD 3

    I tried to load in my ARD (Version 2) to my Powerbook that now runs the Leopard OS. It loads in but every time I try and run it, the program asks for my administrator password - then uploads some files and says the program is installed. I click "okay" and then ARD shuts down. This is a constant loop that won't let me run the program.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    ARD 2 is not compatible with Leoapard

  • OK, what cheap controllers ARE compatible with Leopard?

    Some people say the m-audio ones work with Leopard, and some say they do not. I don't know what to believe...

    M-Audio don't have the best reputation, which is a bit sad since I bought a pile of m-audio interfaces for my music labs at University.
    The fact is that there are no m-audio drivers for Leopard at the moment. I've got the Firewire 410 working but not the Radium 61. Other have managed to get them working and one enterprising soul has rigged the MIDI USB interface via his own generic driver to get it working. A bit rich for my taste, though.
    My Korg Kontrol 49 works fine with Logic Studio/Leopard and, given the problems I've had in the past with m-audio, they've lost my business next time I upgrade the labs.
    HTH.

  • IPhoto 5.0.4 with Leopard 10.5.x?

    Does iPhoto v.5.0.4 run in Mac OS 10.5.8?
    I'm going to upgrade our eMac to 10.5 with iPhoto 5.0.4 and I don't know if it will run in Leopard. iPhoto for Panther (v.2.0.1) got busted with Leopard upgrade.
    If no, what to do?
    -Mike

    Yes iPhoto 5 is fine with Leopard - although there are lots of reasons to go ahead and upgrade to iLife '09 with iPhoto '09 - but it is not necessary

  • M-Audio keystation Pro 88 & Leopard?

    Contemplating install of OSX to 2nd drive in next week.
    Curious if anyone has an M-Audio keyboard working with Leopard? I see their drivers have not been updated yet.

    M-audio is own by Digidesign (Protools), which is owned by Avid. You wont get their gear working on Leopard without paying. Every time Apple releases a new cat in the wild Avid/Digi makes you pay. Get used to it or find some other hardware that wont take weeks or even months to update a simple driver for that hardware you are married to. I stopped using Protools but i'm stuck with their hardware. Learn from my mistake & find yourself a hardware company that keep up with Apple updates like Motu. My Power Mac G4's built in audio driver goes to 192 khz. What's up with that Digi? all that money for 92 khz.

  • Lost functionality with Leopard...

    Lost functionality with Leopard upgrade....
    1 - AOL for Mac OS X (10.3.7) application: can't access email addresses when writing mail and can't attach files.
    2 - Canon's MP Navigator (2.2.2) won't batch scan documents with MP830. Worked fine with Tiger.
    3 - Can't mount USB hard drive attached to my airport extreme and when I try the extreme goes offline and I have to restart it.
    How about you all. I only used 'em all the time.

    I have the same problem.
    After upgrade from my Mac Pro to Mac OS X Lion yesterday, the same problem happened described by danhalli.
    No  connection to the printer over 2101nw. The MAC gets all information if an other computer makes a connection to the print server, so the communication works,  however connection cannot be established.
    There was no way to fix it. complete new installation from Printer Software or wireless  HP Print Server did not help.
    Important:  all other computer in the network are working fine with the connection manager (MAC and Microsoft PC´s)
    All MAC computer are working fine  with the SW 10.6.8 . The  SW 10.7.2 does not work I hope it will be fixed soon. If you can not print, it takes a lot of time !!!!

  • Capture audio static with Leopard?

    I just upgraded to Leopard and started capturing a new project with FCP. I now have static in the audio I didn't have before. Anyone else experiencing this. I've switch cables, drives, video playback decks and still get added static on all tapes. The audio on the tape when monitored with earphones is static free. Any ideas? Thanks.
    Gary

    Thanks for the reply. All cameras are set to 16 bit audio. Nothing has really changed except the Leopard OS upgrade. I am getting a warning box about the audio possibly not syncing, but there is no sync problem. I'm just curious if I'm the only one having this problem with audio static on capturing after the Leopard upgrade. Thanks for any help.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade fails  with buffer overflow

    I'm not sure where to proceed with the following situation:
    I have a 17" MB pro with 1GB memory and 22GB free hard drive space. I booted into the installer from the CD and stepped through the prompts without changing any options to the point where the install starts doing it's magic. Shortly after starting, the install will crash complaining about a buffer overflow during/just after the part where it's finding system files.
    I originally tried to do this with only 10GB free, but after the first failure, I did a repair disk using the Disk Utility and removed a bunch of really old files I no longer needed, which brought the available disk space to 22GB, but this did not help anything. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I use Carbon Copy Cloner as a backup so I can do a full wipe and install, however I would prefer to avoid that as it is a lot of work to get things back.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Error log follows. I cut out a lot of stuff so please let me know if that detail is needed.

    Regarding the need to buy the packaged bundle, I keep seeing folks here and elsewhere claiming that is not necessary.
    That's because they have not read, or concern themselves with the license agreement. Section 2. "Permitted License Uses and Restrictions", section C says on http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
    It's been read forwards, backwards, and upside down. Nowhere on the packaging is there any identification of the $29 (or $49 family pack) version as only suitable as a "Leopard upgrade" version. There are vague mentions about it on Apple's online sales page and in press releases. I've read the license terms thoroughly and the only conclusion that could reasonably be conferred is that the $29 version carries a "single user" license simply because it doesn't say "family pack". There are plenty of reports that it installs over Tiger just fine.
    Granted I've read numerous reports and I installed my copy over Leopard. However - imagine someone who vaguely heard about it, walked into a store and bought a copy, thoroughly looked over the box and the license terms (within the disc), and installed it in good faith over Tiger. There is ZERO, ZIP, NADA on the package that would lead anyone to believe it is anything but a copy with a "SINGLE USER" license where the terms don't preclude installing over Tiger.
    C. Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of *Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it.*
    The emphasis above is mine.
    While this may not be enforced by a software key, it is there in the license agreement on the PDF included on the CD, when you purchase the under $100 licenses, which are also called "Upgrade" on the store.
    There's an opinion that "Leopard upgrade" only applies to the "Up To Date" versions that require proof of purchase of a recent Mac computer. The reports on those installer discs are that they do in fact check for a valid Leopard installation.
    The following has the most in-depth discussion on the subject of whether or not the license allows for Snow Leopard over Tiger that I've seen so far:
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/26361/the-29-purchase-price-of-Snow-Leop ard
    This is the best description I've heard on it, from someone who identifies himself as "David Empson":
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Threads/Single.aspx/mac/26361?ArtId=1j5mofd.1pw6lllbtpj dwN%25dempson%40actrix.gen.nz
    If someone walks in and buys Snow Leopard, without written notice from
    Apple that they are buying an Upgrade version which requires Leopard,
    and without discussing that point with the seller, the buyer is under no
    obligation to have researched their purchase in advance and know all of
    Apple's publicity statements from three months ago.
    They are buying it in good faith, and the contract (licence) is valid.
