Not really re: Sound Pass through in OS X, but close enough.
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! -me -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

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 ... ... e Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2003 02:40:23 +0900 From: Taylor McLaren [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is sort of neat.

Re: Sound Pass through in OS X
Yea.. Im hep to this one too.. wish theyd take care of this! Seems by now they would.. maybe its a code problem.. I have some really transparent little vintage 200c ADS class A DC amplified speakers that I want to use with my new Aluminum 1.25g so Im glad for the heads up as I almost ruined some irreplaceable speakers because I couldnt turn down the prompts- this from way back in my PM 7500 days .. Having really nice speakers hooked up to my PB would be nice but it doesnt appear I can do this with out running through an audio device.. wonder if the Griffin Power Mate could be assigned in a way to work around this? anyone? TIA Gary Aluminum 15 G4PB 1.25GHZ/512r/80GBHD/SD I thought I'd pass this along in case someone else encounters it. I was trying to use a Classic version of Timbuktu and it's Intercom function on my Wallstreet with OS 10.2.6. Well it didn't work but it did activate the audio pass through which immediately produced ear splitting feedback. Well I turned the volume down and went looking at the System Preferences. The Sound Preferences had no option to turn audio pass through off. I tried restarting but it was still on after that. I get the feeling that OS X doesn't deal with audio pass through and assumes it just won't come up. I finally tried using the OS 9 Sound control panel, while still in OS X. It worked, i turned off the audio pass through and no more feedback when I turn up the volume. FWIW -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
