Especially lately, my MSN sounds have been acting up, i.e. when a contact signs in, MSN will only play a part of the alert sound, while the other half, or the other 2/3 of the alert sound will get cut off. It also happens when I receive a msg on MSN, but not always tho.

Any idea why? Have you been experiencing as well?

For those of you who are experiencing this problem, can you post the following information for me?

1.) Processor type (Intel or PPC)
2.) Machine type - laptop or desktop with speakers (it's relevant in this case)
3.) OS version (Tiger or Leopard, specific version)

Thanks!
Nadyne.

Hi.

My computer is an Intel MacBook Pro (2007).

I have speakers connected, but the sounds don't play correctly even when the speakers are disconnected.

I use Leopard 10.5.7.

Thanks.

Me too...

I'm running an early 2008 Intel MBP and I started getting this problem shortly after upgrading to 10.5.7

I am now running OS X 10.5.8 and it's still doing it, despite reinstalling both Skype and MSN.

Extremely annoying.

Ideas?:eek:
