"Mike, Whine Fix that worked for me:
(clip from an Apple forum post)
-------------------------------------------------
"I don't think I've ever been this excited about something, which
might say something about what my activities (or lack thereof).
What I did was I installed the Mac OS X 10.4.5 8G1454
IOUSBFamily.kext 2.4.0 System Update for iMac with Intel Core Duo and
MacBook Pro. The file can be found here:
http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download/ubdebug.html
(Note: There's a typo in that link URL (ubdebug.html should be
usbdebug.html) - here's the OS X USB debug kits downloads,
http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download/usbdebug.html,
that has the referenced file listed down the page.-Mike)
Download the 'v 240.4.3' file, run it, and install the package
that DOES NOT have the '-log' ending. That is, run
IOUSBFamily-240.4.3.pkg and NOT IOUSBFamily-240.4.3-log.pkg. Restart
your computer, and the whine will be gone. You do not need to run
photobooth or do any known workaround to quiet it down...
Also, I think you might need 10.4.7 installed first. It is not an
installation requirement, but I believe it is a requirement for the
fix to work. I have 10.4.7 installed on my 2.16 MBP 15".
-------------------------------------------------
It worked for me! Thanks!
