[MV] USB Audio in 10.4.9

[Chuck Rogers]

Valerie (and everyone else):

We have noticed this as well, and are trying to figure out what Apple  
did. We won't really know a lot until after the Worldwide Developer's  
Conference in June, but we can provide you with some things to try,  
at least in terms of iListen.

One of the things we noticed is that those running iListen with Mac  
OS X version 10.4.9 may actually get better accuracy by going into  
preferences and moving the accuracy slider to the left, towards the  
middle, away from "more accurate" just a bit. This is not official -  
we are still trying to figure out what is going on exactly - but it  
could be that under 10.4.9 iListen is trying to "overthink" its  
accuracy (an oversimplification, to be sure). Backing off the  
accuracy slider just a bit may actually *increase* accuracy IF (and I  
stress **IF**) you are running 10.4.9.

I'll keep you posted, but in the mean time, please treat this as very  
preliminary information and just something you can try.



Best Regards,
