USB Audio stopped working on 27" ACD after software update 1.0

Hi all,

My 27" ACD worked flawlessly until I installed 27-inch LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0 earlier tonight. I have a unibody MacBook Pro that doesn't output audio from the mini displayport, when I got the ACD Friday, USB audio output worked fine. I also have a 24" ACD and audio worked fine on that as well. But after software update 1.0, I can no longer get audio output of the 27" ACD to work via USB, I even rebooted my Mac and it still doesn't work. After trying it a few times in Sound.prefPane, I now can't even select the "Display Audio - USB" option (when I click on it it reverts to the other option right away).

From /var/log/system.log, I believe this is the error related error message:

System Preferences[332]: Error ^P trying to set sOut device to 264

There's a lengthy thread about this exact problem (currently 11 pages long) here: <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2611014>.

In short, though, as of 2010-12-06, Apple has provided no solution.

The easiest temporary workaround is to unplug the display from the electrical outlet and plug it back in. For most people, this “solves” the problem for anywhere from a few hours to a week or two.
