According to Apple, the update 'improves reliability and performance of some applications that access Carbon Sound Manager.' Hopefully this will fix the audio cracks and pops found while recording in Carbon apps."

    "Improves performance" is an interesting way of saying "finally fixes the bugs"...

    kewl! Now all we need is a good OS X native recording application. I still boot to OS 9 to use Coaster because nothing else delivers a good basic recorder with automatic recording that doesn't suck.

  3. Issues with Audiophile 2496 Card by h0tblack · · Score: 5, Interesting
    There's been a report at xlr8yourmac of a major incompatibility with these cards. Here's the quote:
    I just installed the Carbon Sound Manager Update and when I reboot was unable to produce sound via my M-Audio Audiophile 2496. I was initially hoping this would fix some minor glitches that OS 10.2 re-introduced to the Audiophile. To my dismay, it cut sound entirely. I've already tried using the analog out as well to make sure it didn't break the SPDIF out only. I tried reinstalling the drivers as well with little luck. As of right now, I'm unaware of any way to remove the update. I'll test my other Jag install just to confirm that this indeed is isolated to the Carbon Sound Manager.
