    Optical audio out problem (MacMini Server 2012)

    For some reason I cannot make optical audio out work. MacMini 2012 with Catalina (I also have 10.6.8 on it, and it doesn’t work there either). Any idea what may be the cause? Identical audio setup works with my MacBook Pro (so cables and audio devices are not to blame).

    Personal Automations - Speaking Text - Voice output Choppy

    Since updating to iOS 15, my personal automations that have 'speak text' portions have a spoken output that is best described as choppy, almost sounding as if under water. The speech output halts momentarily between each word and sometimes you cannot understand what it is saying. This occurs...

Usually a pause/resume of the song will set it right. Not on beta or anything. Ive read to set the pods...

    Last night I received a pair of Etymotic ER2SE IEMs and I hooked them up to the lightning adapter and iPhone 13 Pro (fresh install few days ago) and I noticed that at 50% volume, they sound low.

    Apple Music I found a track with distortions on Apple Music (and iTunes Store)... thoughts?

    TL;DR: there is a track on Apple Music / iTunes Store which has distortions that aren't on the original CD, and despite me proving this to Apple, they are denying there is a problem. Please bear with me, this is going to be a long one, but I'd love to hear some other people's thoughts on this...

    Override Rogue Amoeba restricting their apps pin Monterey?

    All of Rogue Amoeba's apps are always disabled by their code on a new OS. I suspect the HAL architecture and APIs have not changed. Has anybody found a way to force these apps to run? I am especially missing Audio Hijack and AirFoil.
