Re: [chuck-users] fried audio
I have tried the sudo kill suggestion, below. It gives me two pops with the audio, but doesn't restore anything. I still have to shut down and reboot to get my audio working again. I have also uninstalled Perian. Any other tricks?
I have been enjoying all of these One-Liners (ChucKles? TweecKs? ChaiKus?) http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-13512.html Some of them kill my audio. Is there a way to clear or reset the audio engine without rebooting my MacBook?
It might not be this stuff that fries your Mac, but some sound component in combination with the latest system updates. I had to remove Perian (for which I used a complicated procedure), and apply Combo 10.5.8 (and then do a permissions repair).
You might try killing off coreaudiod. Do say ps -ax | grep audio so see the process number <pid> of coreaudiod, and then do 'sudo kill <pid>'. As it is a daemon, run by launchd (see 'man launchctl'), it will restart immediately. You may also try putting it to sleep, and awaken again.

I assume you have the standard case-insensitive filesystem. I first had the case-sensitive one, but changed, because it seemed more unstable. So I do not know what happens on that. Perian possibly has a bug in it, so that it looks uninstalled when some parts of it. So assuming that you have it installed after a reboot, uninstall it, reboot, take it away from /Library/ PreferencePanes/, reboot. Then run Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboup... If the sound seems OK after that, also go to Disk Utilities and run "Repair Permissions" on the boot volume. - In my testing, it does not change the sound, but it is good to do it. There may be other components causing the problem, but latest Flip4Mac and JackPilot are OK. At least on my computer. :-) Hans
So did it work out after applying the Combo 10.5.8? Hans
