Title: Open device with exclusive access oddity
Post by: BEZMan on October 10, 2013, 07:31:50 pm
Hi all,

Something is odd when using "open device with exclusive access". I constantly get the "This airplay device needs a password...." popup asking me for a password to one of my colleague's mac.

I think that this is what happens:

- I have "Digital Out" selected in MC19
- I have 2 sound devices in "output" in the OSX System Preferences: "Digital Out" (my DAC) and "John's Macbook Air"
- When "Open device with exclusive access" is *on* and I select "Digital Out" in the OSX System Preferences, after some time, "John's Macbook Air" gets magically selected
- When "Open device with exclusive access" is *off* and I select "Digital Out" in the OSX System Preferences, it all good and "Digital Out" stays selected

Is it by bug or is it by design (MC19's way of emulating the "open device with exclusive access" may be?).

Thanks
