I managed to make my soundcard work with AppleHDA.kext + HDAenabler.kext. It is a ALC861 in a Tosiba A200-1AG, but i keep getting a "POP" sound before any sound comes out. It is like it outputs this weird pop every time the soundcard is activated or desactivated

Any ideas on this?

thanx

I have had this problem on every 10.5.x Build, now running 10.5.8 and still have this problem. Toshiba Tecra A6.
