Mavericks 10.9.2 out... Audio issues fix included!

NO! 10.9.2 has done nothing to repair sync and 'clicking' issues either in YouTube or .mov or m4v. Aren't these updates beta tested? It's totally unacceptable.

Give all your specs please: Mac ?, Logic Version, Audio interface, cables, adaptors etc... All please!

Actually, I have to rescind my machine's clean bill of health after a bit more testing.

The extreme decimation of sound is gone, where sound gets nastily pixelated, but I am getting quite a bit of popping and noise in recording and playback in Logic Pro X and FCPx as well.

@#&$^&@. This machine is cursed.

It is: Late 2013, i7, 3TB Fusion disaster drive, 16gb ram.

Very possible. I have an FW interface I can try, so I'll I do a few experiments to see what if I can get better results there. I haven't run through the full complement of different USB and my Tbolt hubs. That's the next thing to try I guess. I'll let you know if I see anything interesting but it might take me a couple more (wasted) days to try out some of the combinations.

Sigh.

First of all, TAOS, your help is greatly appreciated here. Thanks a lot for your implication.

Well, maybe for the one using a 2013 Haswell mac all is fine now and I'm really happy to hear that, at least for the one using a FW audio interface, but I use a late 2012 (w/ fusion drive) imac with ivy bridge processor, using firewire 400 audio interfaces, through a thunderbolt adaptor and a FW 400/800 cable and still have issues. See my post(s) above for more details.

Things got really better though.

"The feedback I am getting is mainly from those with FW devices.. and for those people, in every case so far... 10.9.2 has resolved all audio issues... after extensive testing by them."

Not anymore. I am using Apogee Duet FW, and still have popping and clicking during iTunes playback. It's not nearly so bad as it was before, but it is still highly irritating (and inexcusable).

I give up. I am now stuck with an almost $2,000 lemon. My next computer almost certainly will be a Windows machine (hope someone from Apple is reading this).

Thank you very much, Art of Sound. I had not heard that from Apogee. The technical support person with whom I corresponded said he would keep me updated, but hasn't...surprise, surprise.

Thank you again for keeping abreast of all this and providing better and more up-to-date information than the companies do!

"but the new 10.9.2 ones, so far, seem to completely nail the problem regarding both USB and FW... from the feedback I am getting..."

Your talikng about Apogee FW audio interfaces and 2013 Haswell imac I presume because 10.9.2 is still ba little buggy, at least for me.

"Thank you again for keeping abreast of all this and providing better and more up-to-date information than the companies do!"

AppleCareadvisor ever told me that eveything was fine with 10.9.1. Always the same answer was " If everthing is fine using the built-in audio, then the problem is not on our side... And now, all would be fine because of 10.9.2 ????

Come on Apple, your not seriuous at all.

Thanks again, AoS and colleagues.

I have created an Apogee support ticket and asked a few questions about the Duet FW driver updates. When/if I get a response, substantive or otherwise, I'll report back here.
