SoundFlower - Distortion after 5 minutes then silence (OS X Lion)
Mar 17 2012 | 11:22 pm
Hi,
I'm using SoundFlower on my Hackintosh to reroute sound.
I created an Aggregate Device using the Audio MIDI setup in Lion. If I test them outputs individually all the outputs work fine.
I then use SoundFlower to be the default output device and then in the SoundFlower drop down box from the toolbar I chose Soundflower (2ch) then Aggregate Device.
Sound is perfect now, iTunes is playing through all 5 speakers and the subwoofer and it sounds great!
However, after a few songs, I get a few random beeps and hisses until eventually the sound becomes unbearable or just goes quiet.
Any solutions? Would really help, it hurts even more once you've had a taste of something and then it just escapes you. Really frustrating when you're so close.
Thank you for reading.

I had lots of pops, clicks and glitches occurring all over the place randomly too.What I did to get around it, albeit ridiculous, is to send audio out from max through a certain output on my sound card and bring it back in physically into an input using a jack cable. This of course won't be too helpful if you do not have audio channels to spare.Hope this helps.
