After a while of use, soundflower stops working and produces ?static? through the speakers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. installed on 10.6.4
2. installed soundflower 1.5.2 (had same problem with 1.5.1)
3. Listen to sound work perfectly for 30 minutes or so, then static.

It's not so much static that comes through the speakers.  It sounds more like 
the sound a system makes when it hard locks and plays the last millisecond of 
sound that was coming through the speakers over and over again.

I've tried changing the buffer size, but does not solve the issue.

In order to get it to play again, all I have to do is turn off the soundflower 
output then turn it back on.  But then after 30 minutes or less, it'll come 
back.

Can you please try manually reinstalling the driver using the following

Thanks for the help, I followed those instructions to the letter and it seems 
to be working fine.  (going on a couple of hours now)  I'll report back if it 
breaks.  Thanks again.

It broke again.  It seems to last longer now (5-7 hours) but then still does 
the same thing.

I have the same problem
OS X Lion 10.7.3
Soundflower 1.6.2
What can I do. More than that, at boot time sound is not working.
I do the routing  > soundflower 2 ch > SPDIF out > MA-15D speakers

I searched for hours trying to find a solution to this issue.  A friend 
suggested an idea that he had been shown.  Setup soundflower as a midi 
simultaneously with your regular output.  Therefore instead of routing through 
soundflower for your output (which seems to cause the issue), it routes each as 
their own output.  So far seems to be working on my recording meters without 
the overdrive static. Here is the how to on this.

If you also are looking for more control I found software from Prosoft that 
allows for audio adjustment using hear or individual app control through hear 
or soundbunny.
