I recently purchased a Titanium G4 550MHz in order to develop an application for
theatrical sound design and performance. It's running OS 10.1.2.
Intermittantly the audio output (via the built-in speakers) simply stops.
Some applications, such as iTunes, seem to "notice", in that the interface
elements which indicate the current position in a sound will not advance. Some
applications, such as the QuickTime player and Daisy, continue merrily away,
playing their sounds into the void.
I have found that plugging headphones into the headphone jack will often
suddenly restore the sound. Not always.
Obviously, this is a show-stopper. The application I intend to develop has to
work all of the time, every time.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?
OS X has been marketed to developers as Apple's premier audio platform. I have
never received answers on this list, or in any other forum, about Powerbook use
of CoreAudio via FireWire and USB. Aside from the bug I'm reporting here,
10.1.2 is almost unbearably sluggish, and system beeps sometimes take up to 2.5
seconds to play, hanging the app that attempted to beep, while the beachball
spins. I'm starting to feel burned. Any relief in sight?
