How to reset / reconfigure sound drivers
Hello,
This may be a strange and complex problem but I still hope someone can help me.
I own a iMac with OSX 10.6.2 on which I have connected a USB Audio interface 'Yamaha Audiogram 3'. I also use this device for my sound output through external speakers. I haven't had any problems with this since I installed the audio interface.
But today I installed a program called 'Guitar Pro 5', which radically seemed to have adjusted things in my sound driver setup or whatever it is called. Because ever since that moment every sound I hear through my audio interface and my external speakers contains a low and soft noise which is influenced by the sound played, often peaking as cracks, as if the speakers are broken (but they aren't).
I have already consulted the Apple Care but all their suggestions didn't solve the problem.
After this I also tried reinstalling the driver required for the Yamaha Audiogram 3, but to no avail.
I figured the problem might have its roots in the sound driver configuration, but all I can configure right now is the balance, the volume and the choice of which speakers to use. I think I need to dig deeper than that, and find out why my sound is so wrecked.
Are there ways to do this?
And if the problem can be solved in another way, please let me know!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
