And one more issue, but this has nothing to do with my audio issues. I can't seem to get time machine working although it worked perfectly before I messed up my Zeph 10.5.1 install by trying to update myself.
Time Machine freezes every time I try to backup . I have tried a few IONetworking kexts but no go. Could you possibly up yours m8?
Is it working for you?
