Hello everyone,

I just change my cpu motherboard, ram etc...comming from an old intel hackintosh who was working very well and, after 5 days to make it working, it's almost done, i just have concerns about the sound:

I have an external usb sound card, Focusrite Scarlett Gen 3 and I disabled the internal sound card in the bios but the sound is crackling, audio drops and I think it's cpu management problem because, I make music on this computer and in the music production software I can monitor the cpu usage, and there I seen cpu spikes every seconds, without anything running in background, I can't even listen an mp3 correctly it's ugly.

I tried another usb interface, also using the sound of 2 different screens and that's the same issue...

I'm not an expert in osx installation so, maybe I made something wrong, if someone can take a look, I put here my efi folder and my extracted dsdt and ssdt in one folder.
One important thing, my ssdt patchs in open core / acpi was not made with my exact cpu but by someone with the same motherboard.

Thank you and I hope I describe all of this correctly cause English is not my original language !

OK, that is an old/obsolete fix, which isn't used any more. You aren't relying on this 'fix' now are you?

You are now using the CPU core count patches in your setup, yes?
 
Yes i know it's obsolete and isn't perfect either but it the best for now waiting to make the counting core patch already applied to work. (yes i use it, it's in my actual efi in post 18).

Before i launch speedkeeper, i have a lot of crackeling playing a simple mp3, when i launch speedkeeper, it's almost normal (not perfect).
