Not really re: Sound Pass through in OS X, but close enough.

2003-10-03 Thread Taylor McLaren
Sound pass through is set in OS 10.2.6 (and earlier versions of OS X?) 
using the Audio MIDI Setup application in Applications:Utilities. 
Strange location for this option, I think, but there it is.
This is sort of neat. When I saw that the audio setup utility gave the 
option of adjusting channel levels for different types of inputs, I was 
finally able to fix a long-standing quirk of my iMic: the levels of any 
signal recorded when the iMic was connected to USB bus 1 (the port 
closest to the front of my iBook 800) have always been about half as 
loud on the left channel as they are on the right. That problem appears 
to have been solved now.
  Many thanks to whoever initially brought up the pass-through issue on 
the list!

2003-10-03 Thread Eric Morrison
Hi:

Never really had any sound problems on Pismo 400 (upgraded w/ the 
PowerLogix 500MHz G4), 10.2.8, 768MB RAM but seeing this thread had to 
check it out. Found out two things:

1) if you have the Audio Midi Setup utility open and adjust the volume 
with the volume up/down keys on the keyboard.. occasionally the 
left/right volumes go up or down different amounts (I'm assuming this 
is what Taylor was referring to as attenuation) as you press the 
up/down volume keys. Very odd. It actually seemed that the more I did 
it, the less they tended to get out of synch... or this may have just 
been my wishful thinking

2) when they get out of whack, checking the output balance in the sound 
preference pane does in fact reflect this discrepancy as the balance 
moves off center. That is, you can adjust this just as easily from 
the Output tab of the Sound preference pane by centering the 
balance between the right and left channels.

.. fyi ...
