You are welcome NoelEiffe.....


It does appear, from those here and elsewhere, plus those people who have been working with me directly... that the problem with the 2013 iMacs with a FD fitted audio issues, has indeed been fixed at last....


Thank you all for the feedback that assisted in tracking down and identifing the real issue and also helped provide a temporary workaround in the meantime...


Much appreciated!


Cheers..

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).

Al,



I am using Apogee Duet FW, and still have popping and clicking during iTunes playback



Apogee have stated that they need to update their Duet FW drivers now for 10.9.2 to eliminate the last of these issues....


To clarify... The current Jan 2014USB drivers do help those with the USB Duet... in regards to the USB2-3 issue but the new 10.9.2 FW Duet drivers undergoing testing, so far, seem to completely nail the problem regarding the FW Duet... and FD's iMacs..from the feedback I am getting...

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


+1


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.

Your talikng about Apogee FW audio interfaces and 2013 Haswell imac I presume


I'm speaking about Apogee updating their FW Duet drivers to take into account the new fix for the 2013 iMac and FD fitted/Audio issues that Apple released in 10.9.2.. Apogee apparently need to tweak their FW Duet driver to finally resolve any outstanding issues...


The Haswell plus USB2/3 issue is something different.... and i have no info about that yet.... other than what is on the Apogee Driver page relating to the updates Apogee released in Jan 2014 for their USB Audio devices...
