No sound Mac Pro 4,1 Yosemite
Hey all,
Been having intermittent sound problems with my 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 since installation of Yosemite. This seems to be a software bug with Yosemite, since I didn't have this issue with Mavericks and don't have it with my installation of Windows 7 in BootCamp on the computer.
What's happening? Depends on the day and the mood of Yosemite, it seems. right now, there is no sound, but if you go into system preferences to check sound output, it shows correct settings - sound device set as line out. Sometimes, system preferences shows no sound devices at all. Sometimes, everything works. Powering down and unplugging the computer for a minute sometimes brings it back. Sometimes that doesn't do it.
Really frustrating, as this is one of many problems with Yosemite. They should have called it OS X Death Valley. I also experience UI freeze ups, email sluggishness, overall slowing of the computer.
Please Apple, you need to stop worrying about features and concentrate on STABILITY of OS X. Sadly, I'm enjoying working in BootCamp in Windows 7 more than Yosemite. Would roll back to Mavericks if I figure a painless way to do so.
I also am warning friends and family to stay away from Yosemite upgrades.
