Oh well looks like there is no hope for the forgotten isub, such a pretty thing as-well, maybe i'll just stick some fake flowers in it
you could try a re-install? I got rid of it when I found out it had this bug. Never got around to getting one of those Soundsticks II from H/K.

G'Day isubbers,
the fact is your isub does still work in TIGER, you just have to open "system preferences", open the sound panel & adjust the isub volume slider & you can hear it cut in, if you adjust the volume via the keyboard the isub drops out, etc etc etc....this is the drama! (not sure if it's the same behaviour on intel macs?). I know this sounds like pain in the butt but at least it works. My concern is whether or not LEOPARD will even recognize it, then we will be definately putting fake flowers in it.

No drama on Intel Macs: my iSub is 100% silent and invisible.
And in Tiger on my PowerBook G4, there's usually no problem that I can detect: keyboard volume does not make the iSub cut out. Not sure why I'm the lucky one! (Maybe PBG4s are immune? I'm using iSub to supplement the internal speakers.)
It doesn't cut out completely, but the bass drops to a low level, i've tried in on my iBook, but the speakers are to quiet to notice, i think your not noticing it if your using the internal powerbook speakers,
Intel/iMac USB Solution verified
I am replying to the final post on this thread but I am verifying that my iSub works. It works because I added USB speakers. I am on an Intel/iMac running 10.4.8.
Once I added USB speakers, I went to the preferences. I selected the option USB Audio DAC. Once I selected that. I could select the slider for iSub volume.
I think that with everything involved in the Intel release that this was a low priority. I am hoping that Apple fixes it.
Now I know what I want for Christmas: quality USB speakers, I purchased cheap ones to test it. Glad I kept the receipt.

ISUB works with FRONT ROW & apple REMOTE
G'Day all
WE all know that ajusting the volume via the keyboard causes the isub to drop out. Here's something I discovered which is only relevant to PPC users, if you adjust the volume with the apple remote whilst playing itunes through apple's FrontRow the isub dont drop out.
