i dont' believe there are any special processes running, but this iMac has always had issues since i got it. i've had it "fixed" 3 times for problems concerning the screen and video card, it's broken again so i'm scheduled to have it entirely replaced. perhaps there are some other underlying issu

Re: Cocoa Sounds

I ran into this too. A decent workaround is to preload the sound: create an NSSound object for the audio file you want to play, set its volume to zero, then play it. After that it's "warmed up" and will play instantly. (Actually not entirely instantly on laptops, which will turn off the a

also, i tried implementing a dummy sound (dead air .m4a file) during application launch, but that didn't help. the first real sound is still always lagged. On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 1:37 PM, Chunk 1978 wrote: > i'm using Cocoa's NSSound. here's is how i play sounds: > > -=-=-=-=- > > if ([[soundR

Re: Cocoa Sounds

That makes sense, because NSSound has to go find the resource named "mySound.m4a", load it into memory, and then play it. Have you tried preloading the sound, so that by the time you want to play it, it's already in memory? Dave On Nov 9, 2009, at 11:37 AM, Chunk 1978 wrote: i'm using Co

i'm using Cocoa's NSSound. here's is how i play sounds: -=-=-=-=- if ([[soundRadioGroup cellWithTag:1] state] == NSOnState) { NSSound *theSound = [NSSound soundNamed:@"mySound.m4a"]; if ([theSound isPlaying]) [theSound stop]; [theSound play]; } -=-=-=-=- the first sound is always lagg

one thing i've always had an issue with is sound lag, which always (yet only) happens during a first sound. after the initial lag, sounds will play on time. at first i though it was my code, but recently i've noticed that it happens in Calculator. if you open Calculator, then choose Speech > Spe
