Hello all
I have a strange audio problem that I can't resolve. I have a G4 1.33Ghz iBook running OSX 10.4.9. Weird: Audio skips or is distorted in if playing through either the internal headphone socket or my firewire audio device (an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile) but not if playing through the onboard speakers. The distortion is not fuzz - it's hissy, squelchy and intermittent, almost as if the sound were being played through an effect (though not one I'd ever want to use). I get this with iTunes (CD and mp3), with playback through the Finder, and with Peak. Weirder and weirder: when I use Logic Express with the Firewire audio device or the internal headphone socket the sounds do not distort. However, certain individual sounds - ie specific samples or tracks - within songs don't play. When I playback through the internal speakers these sounds do play. What I've done so far: • run repairs in disk utility • reinstalled Tiger and updates • reinstalled the latest M-Audio driver • junked Quicktime and iTunes prefs • checked that audio output is set to 44.1 Does anyone have any further suggestions? Thanks and best wishes willm |

I've sorted the problem. My beloved headphones had suddenly gone strange and were warping the sound in strange ways.
I am reporting immediately to the yard in which newbies are shot. Apologies. willm |
