Title: Mac MC33 & MC34 No Audio Output
Post by: OldGoat on May 03, 2025, 12:09:46 pm
I have no Audio output on either 33 or 34. 
When starting or stoping a track there is a slight pop from the speakers.  I have tried all sorts of settings in the Audio section of Options... 
All other applications that have audio output work fine.  Audio ones like IINA.app and output from web browsers.  At 79 my hearing is not the greatest and would be very happy to bypass MC's audio bits.  Very much like the way MC recovered my iTunes/Music library the Apple buggered up.  But not impressed with MC's audio section.  Should have a way to bypass it on a Mac.

From Logging file:

    Total Logical Cores: 8
Operating System

Playback Problem:
Something went wrong with playback.
Details:
Playback could not be started on the output Core Audio' using the format '44.1 kHz 2ch.
This output format may not be supported by your hardware.
You can use DSP Studio to change the output to a compatible format.
Also, make sure that your system has a valid sound playback device and that it is properly configured in playback options.

Have tried different formats but to no avail.  The message only came up once.

Try disabling "Exclusive Access" in MC's Audio Device settings.

Thanks, that was one of 2 issues that were in startup settings.  The other was it was starting at zero volume.  MC brilliant library manager,  bit complicated for playback.
