Stopping digital (optical) audio from going to sleep?

For others looking for a solution to this problem, SoundStay is now available on MacUpdate.

SoundStay on MacUpdate

Hi!

I'm absolutely new to macrumors forum, so greetings to everybody! 🙂

Jimmy, I'm resurrecting this old thread because I'd like to try your app... My external audio card resets audio volume to max every time the mac interrupts the optical signal and it is really annoying! 😉

I get the same message telling that the file is corrupt when I try to open both the installer and the soundstay.app file inside.. I took the zip file from MacUpdate... could you please provide me another download? Thank you very very much.

Claudio 🙂

Hey there!

I only ever tested SoundStay on 10.6.8 (I'm still on SL now). I don't think it ever worked on anything higher. I may update it at the start of next year when I upgrade to something newer.

I'm please to say that Soundstay has worked on 10.7, 10.8 and now 10.9.
It's been a lifesaver!

Just noticed this phenomenon with my iMac connected to Logitech Z5500's via optical.
Have you considered putting this app on the app store? Surely we cant be the only ones with this problem
