Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install

Sorry Guys, Sound Stutter / GUI Lag ist still there after 10.8.1 Update.

FYI: I am on the latest iMac.

And I thought this was mostly an issue with not so new hardware... It was just Jobs die for this to happen? WТF.

I've also installed the 10.8.1 update and I'm still getting the sound suttering. 😟

Chris and Morgan, I've also done the update and the audio lag and cursor jumping, and GUI issues are certainly lessened. However, it's still nowhere as good as Lion was. I'm also using this on a 2011 iMac 3.4 with SSD and 2 TB hdd and 6970 2 Gb of Video Ram and 16 gigs of memory.

Performance should be spot on, but it certainly isn't there yet. I really wish apple cared about video and audio drivers as much because they are somewhat important to creative projects that involve using my iMacs.

I couldn't agree more. For a company that prides themselves in selling high quality computing solutions, I would have though an issue like this would have been fixed in 10.8.1. Guess we can only wait...

HAHA, it's so amusing, they half-targeted the issue!! Previously I was getting much more glitches playing music on iTunes, I just installed the update, hit play and waited. It played nearly a full song without stuttering, and I was starting to be happy, but at the end of the song, two glitches came up. It kept playing to the second song, the glitches started to accumulate! FUСK! It stopped completely, It's worse.

I just don't know what happens with this macbook but it started turning off internal sound alone, and It's quite warm...

Not directly related to this discussion, but now my macbook is presenting behaviors of this. What a crap. Next time I'll buy a ultrabook and install linux.

So this is the feeling of getting a Mac...

Let's hope Apple gets to the bottom of this soon.

10.8.1 did nothing. (I'm talking about audio output over thunderbolt BTW.)

Still getting random stuttering. It's only 720p for heaven sakes.

Yes, Apple will likely tell you you turned the computer on and are using it wrong. Much like the iPhone in that we evidently are holding the phone wrong.

Also, I am having the audio stutter too, but I am just using the 3.5mm jack on the back of my iMac to some soundsticks HK. So I'm not sure why it's so bad there either.

Either way, 10.8.2 should be out in September as it will need to coincide with iOS 6. So I am hopeful that they fix this issue by then. Apple has refused to let me get a copy of Lion, That I paid for, and reinstall it on my machines. So the only other alternative is to go buy Windows.

Their arrogance as a company is going to drive customers away. I know my father has seen what I have dealt with recently and is likely going to buy a Samsung 9 series computer. Customers talk and it's much more viral than any advertising campaign Apple can run on television.

Here's Hoping!

I had to download Lion through p2p.. It is completely rediculous that apple doesn't provide you with any way to download the OS that works with your computer/mac (lion)

...I reset my PRAM. Everything is working at the moment, knock on wood. Maybe others could try this and see if we all get some positive results.

Keep us posted on the results will ya.

Personally I don't like messing with "internal settings", but if it fixes the problem ...

Yep same for me mid 2011 iMac top of range.
