i thought i would post this in case anyone else is experiencing the same woeful state of affairs.
this is from an email i sent m-audio about problems with my brand new midiman audiophile 2496 card: computer: Apple model: G4 533 MP chipset: cpu type: PPC cpu speed: 533 x 2 ram: 1.5 Ghz gfx card: Radeon 8500 Mac edition os: Mac OS 10.2.1 server service: Midiman products used: Audiophile 2496 When did it start? soon after installation Services or Updgrades? no The Problem:from time to time, the sound starts to deteriorate and rapidly gets worse. as soon as i stop the audio (in this case iTunes 3.0.1) and restart, its ok. The reply i got today: "We are working with Apple to pinpoint exactly what the issue is with the degradation of audio in Jaguar. This is apparently a problem several audio vendors are experiencing. Once we can get to the bottom, we will post a fix on our site. In the meantime, I would strongly recommend using OS 10.1.5 or OS 9.2 until there is a fix." hmmmm....uninstall jag. great...

As a device driver writer myself, I can confirm that there are "issues" with the IOkit audio driver stuff.
There is a very complicated mechanism that attempts to have the lowest latency possible, however the thing very regularly trips on it's own tail (literaly) and fails miserably. Oh, that clever thing is also horrendously memory hungry too, just in case. So the audio slutering happily like that is something I know quite well, and I've researched for days how to erradicate it completely without much sucess. -------------------- |
