Hi everybody,
I've had lots of problems with my iBook recently, while trying to record some external sources (CDs, minidisc, etc). I'm using Peak 3.2. The sound is always very bad, whatever the hardware settings; I tried to change the buffer size, the audio rate, etc. While it changes something, the sound is still bad (lot of noise, scratches here and there, distortions, etc). I'm under OSX, on an iBook 600, 4 Gb of HD space. I really don't understand what's going on ! I mean, the iMic is not the best USB audio interface in the world, but it should at least work properly... Thanks for your suggestions, Hellgi -------------------- Powermac G4 @ 2x1Ghz, 1.5GB Ram, 4x250GB 7200rpm, Graveur DVD ;

If you have trouble with imic, try connecting it to a usb-hub. Imic-hub-mac. That works for me, no more clicks/noise.

Perhaps the trouble is in the Audio setup in peak.
Under audio make sure your record settings reflect your setup. Make sure aiff is selected for file format. Check sound out settings, Check hardware settings. Maybe you have already done this... I know Peak needs these settings to work properly. Best Regards, Rick |
