[QUOTE="leehfp, post: 961773, member: 135356"] Hey, I think I just solved my problem. Hopefully it will help you too! Basically, when I signed up to Natwest Online Banking, they suggested to me to download a piece of software called Rapport Security. It was free, and downloadable from Natwest's website. And it seems to be this terribly engineered piece of software that has been causing ALL my problems. I noticed in my activity monitor that Rapport wasn't responding - I'd noticed this before but have always put off uninstalling it for some reason, and the thought never crossed my mind that it was Rapport causing the issues. I decided to uninstall it this evening and there wasn't a straight forward way of doing it, so I researched (googled) it and apparently this software has caused Mac users problems strange problems before. After uninstalling it, my macbook was almost miraculously back to normal! No more volume problems, no system hangs...so far anyway. Although I'm confident that this has now been solved, if the problem returns I'll let you know. To uninstall Rapport, you need to go to your Library folder and find the Rapport folder. In there is a file called RapportUninstaller.sh this is a shell file, and if you open the file with Terminal, the unistaller will run and Rapport will be gone banished from your system! Hope this helps you! Good luck! Lee [/QUOTE]
