So I followedthis (osx 86.co/f57/guide-evga-x58-snow-leopard-mac-os-x-t3854/)phenomenal guide here and everything works great, audio video internet - perfect.

But I installed this so I can run Pro Tools 9 and Logic Studio 9 for mixing and music production so I need high quality drivers (my evga x58 realtek audio drivers on windows were great) but this AppleHDA one (im guessing this is the driver im using?) sounds pretty low quality and some sounds are cracking.

Anyone know what to do?
