Interesting--

I'm going to put it on my laptop to check it out first, but I've heard odd things about the latest QT and iTunes on some towers... might hold off on my production computer for now.

10.4.9-- hmm. Kind of sad in a way-- the "end" of the Tiger era.

Areas of Change

- Fixed issue with CoreAudio and AudioConverter

It'd be nice to know what exactly has been fixed.

It will be interesting to read about what this "issue" is, but that it's audio related at all is encouraging.

Can you tell me from where I can read about it? So far I haven't found anything.

Do you mean this:

I'd assume that this update includes improvements from the most recent Firewire SDK, which has updates for CoreAudio Firewire audio drivers. If this is the case, users of Apogee, Presonus, and all sorts of interfaces with BridgeCo chips may see a difference.

Hi guys, I have installed OS X 10.4.9 on my G5 and DP 5.11 (and Pro Tools LE 7.3.1 / Peak Pro 5.2) seems cool. I installed the QT updater (ver 7.1.5 with QT Pro authorization) and that seems cool for DP also (there was a post the other day with a guy saying it has caused instability).

Please note: this is for a PPC Mac NOT SinTel Mac

That was me.

I have nothing to loose as my quits have been many since QT and iTunes updates.

Let you know.

I didn't see any mention of this on either Apple's site nor Macintouch.com. Where'd you hear about these changes to core audio? (I'm a Presonus user so it's of interest to me..)

Aah... Unicorn-flavoured Guinea Pigs.
Just the ticket.

Watch 'em and weep... with joy that it's not you.
Unless, of course, you're watching you.
I'm watching you.

Er, after you, Guinea Pigs.
