That was the only reason I thought it might be the video cards, but that seems kinda weird to me. > I believe the 5200 does support Core Image but if you're using the PCI > version, you'd still need PCI Extreme to get QE working, and if you're > using Leopard, I'm not sure PCI Extreme works?

And their website doesn't guarantee anything later than 10.4.3. Probably don't want to try it on Leopard then, although if I swapped for the AGP 5200 I wouldn't need a second video card period, but I'm not really willing to do that since the 9800 Pro is pretty much a better card all around. Decisions, decisions. On May 22, 3:56 pm, Dan <dantear...@gmail.com> wrote: > What about Finder sounds, and other apps (IMs, etc), do they cut out? All sounds are gone.

Does it in iTunes, QuickTime and Songbird, oddly enough. > Is this on your built-in speakers or externals? Externals plugged into the front headphone jack. I guess I should have mentioned that the back audio jack has half of an 3.5mm jack broken off in it, but this had never been in an issue before in the year or so that I have been using it regularly. > Seems very strange to me that audio cutouts would be video-card related It seems weird to me, too, but that was the only major change that I've done to the machine in the week or so before it started happening: adding a new video card and a second monitor. > Might be worth checking and cleaning the speaker connections etc. > Maybe when your PM is huffing & puffing, the fan vibration is causing > things to move enough... I did check that, but it seems to be resolving on its own without having to touch cables. > Long shot, but do you have cats? My powermacs are succeptable to > feline interference.

I do, but they don't seem to have any particular affinity to my computers other than the little one liking to curl up behind the exhaust vents of the two PowerMacs under my desk. I'll keep an eye out for them, though.
