Message-ID: <20050404200840.38963.qmail@web20325.mail.yahoo.com> Anyone else here use the Griffin iMic? I had been using one for audio output on a FireWire Powerbook*. Recently, the sound quality has gone way south. When the sound signal drops below a certain amplitude, it sounds as though it's being broadcast from a distant radio transmitter. I hadn't noticed this before. I can't remember if I had installed or updated any software between the last time I used the audio out and the point when I noticed this happened. I remember plugging a USB printer into the 2nd USB port around the same time, though I think the sound quality may have changed right before that. Anyway I've unplugged the printer and rebooted the Powerbook, with the same results. When I switched the audio out to the headphone jack, it sounded fine. (I can't get the iMic to work at all on my older Wallstreet Powerbook (OS 9), though that's not a good test because that computer has several problems of its own.) According to System Profiler, my iMic Product ID is 547 ($223). Have I blown out my iMic or is there something I can reset to make it work again? I've written Griffin in the meantime but figured I'd go ahead and ask here. *As for why I'd listen through USB output in the first place, I'd rather replace an iMic every once in a while than even attempt to fix the headphone jack when it finally wears out (already I don't get a "click" when I insert a headphone plug, etc.). Headphone jack also picks up a lot of noise that I don't hear with the iMic. Maybe an audio I/O PCMCIA card would accomplish the same thing? Thanx in advance, --Joe C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.

Make sure the Audio Output settings are 44100.0Hz, 2ch-16 bit. I have had a few times where these settings changed and the output from the iMic was horrible. -Matt On Apr 4, 2005, at 2:08 PM, Joe Castleman wrote: > Anyone else here use the Griffin iMic?
