No output-related MMC tweaks. I'm not sure what problem was presented in 1C10, but given the prior one worked for you, perhaps we can assume it was a fluke. :) If you still have issues now though, let me know.
OK, I managed to run another test tonight. I hooked everything back up and pressed play. The deck started recording and DB started counting, but there was no sound. Then after 10 seconds or so, the sound suddenly cut in and everything carried on to the end of the dbsong, where DB obiediently stopped itself and the deck. OK, that was pretty good, though the lack of sound at the very beginning worried me. So I went back to the begining, primed to record, and hit play on DB again. This time DB started counting and the deck started playing, but no sound, at all, ever. Multiple attempts and no sound. Another couple of dbsongs and the same behavior. I unplugged the cable from iBook to deck, just in case some weird setting on the deck was killing the sound, but DB wasn't outputting any sound to the iBook's speakers either. I restarted DB, then restarted the iBook and then DB -- no luck in either case. In fact not until I disconnected MIDI and rebooted and fired up DB again did sound start coming out. It's almost as if DB decided to mute audio when MIDI was active, despite that pref being unchecked. Sometimes I would pick a short selection and hit play, and DB would correctly start the deck recording and then stop it when the selection stopped, despite the lack of audio (though DB didn't always stop correctly). Then if I primed the deck to record and hit play on DB, DB would sometimes correectly send the "back to start" command before it started the deck recording, though not always. So MIDI signals are definitely working at least some of the time (DB always seems to get the "start recording" bit right now), but once the audio was dead, it was dead! Odd :) But different from previous builds, whether or not anything is supposed to have changed! Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
