JustZisGuy writes "Apple has released Carbon Sound Manager Update for OS X 10.2.2, available via the Software Update utility. 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."

      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.

    Sure, perhaps the play-by-play may on the outside seem annoying, but really it is just an opener for a forum discussion. I like reading about people's experiences with the updates before I apply them. I suppose I am a nerd, and that would be news for me, thus preserving the /. mission. Otherwise they would have to drop news about BSD, Linux, etc. update annoucements too...

    Agreed. I like reading the discussion that ensues. Interestingly, I'm getting annoyed that every time a Mac OS X update gets posted on /. , somebody will whine about it, almost like clockwork.

    C'mon!!! Is it that hard to just not read a story you're not interested in? Get a life.

    I like to hear about software updates here.

    The reason is this:

    A few updates ago, a certain iTunes updater wiped a heaps of people disks because of a rediculous bug in the install script.

    I read about this on Slashdot, and that's why I have automatic update turned off, and only check SU manually.

    That way other people can crash their machines before I do. :)

  5. 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.

    I get mod points on a regular basis, on average every seven or eight days. My thinking on why you were modded redundant is because the contents of your post are often expressed and don't forward the discussion.

    You wouldn't complain about someone modding an "I'll never use a Mac till they have two mouse buttons" or "I can't wait till they release OS X for x86" posts as redundant. They're commonly expressed and superfluous posts which don't forward any discussion, i.e. redundant.

    Many people on Slashdot and Macslash find these notices useful, especially when a bug is found or when looking for details on what the update does. The same advice applies to you as to people complaining about sex on TV - if you don't like it, don't watch it.

    Because we like to use Slashdot more for discussion than for just the news itself.

  8. It is the Quicktime 6.0.2 update... by Peter+Trepan · · Score: 2

    ...that includes it - but it has not fixed the audio problems I'm having with Logic 5.5 on OS X 10.2.2 (flat-panel iMac, USB M-Audio Quattro.)

    The Cubase discussion boards mention a similar problem with Cubase SX - a metallic, staticky, robot-reverb sound that gradually starts a few minutes into a recording session. It seems to hit people with USB interfaces. Anyone else have this problem? Or better yet, a fix?
