Today's audio update

[afultz075]

Anyone else installed the audio update just released by Apple? I'm curious as to what it has done for you. Before the update, using my Sony earbuds, I would have static in the line for about 30 seconds after any audio was done playing. After the update, I now can hear constant static through the audio output. To prove to myself I wasn't crazy, I booted to my Firewire backup harddrive that was last backed up pre-update, and sure enough, the static returned to it's old behavior of only being present for a short time after audio had played.

Now that the static is constant Apple can now say it is "normal".

"... because ... there is always static!"

That's a funny way to put it, iW00t. So are you having the same issue?

the static in mine's been lowered, but my audio in jack is screwed up now- all I get is a steady clicking/popping noise that clips the audio in whenever something's plugged into it this sucks!
