Sounds like a sample rate issue. So the display port appears as an audio output on your Mac? Go to Audio/MIDI settings (/Applications/Utilities) and see if the sample rate is the same for the DPS Reflector and the output you are using for HDMI. Sample rate conversion is a brand new feature in the last build so we are working out the kinks.</p> <p>What model of Mac are you using? I want to test this myself.

But as soon I plug it into the TV and use the mini display port audio out to the the TV's HDMI, it makes the same stereo sound really twangy and with static noises.

Whether it's on or off seems to depend on setting DPS while in another program.</p> <p>For example, if I have it off while in iTunes (so that it doesn't double over the iTunes plug in), then it'll be off in VLC once I start a movie file. What's strange is that if the file is playing in VLC then there's no real-time control or change in DPS like there would be if I were in any other program. I have to stop the file, change the DPS settings while in iTunes, Quicktime, etc., and then restart the movie file for the effect to take place. </p> <p>It's not a big issue, and frankly since it's isolated to VLC it makes me think it's something on their end, but it caught me off guard because for a while I couldn't tell if I had DPS on or off. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1985 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 03:01:39 +0000 nukefixer1 1985@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Version 1.007 will not run for me, I downloaded it and its sitting in my applications folder, but it will not launch when I select it, I have no idea why not?</p> <p>nuke </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1976 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:22:50 +0000 Joey Butera 1976@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Ok, the new version (1.007) is available.

Are you sure the mic input is muted on your Macbook? Unless there is some other application like Sound Flower running there is no way to route an output back onto itself. The output device in Sound Preferences should be DPS Reflector (when DPS is engaged) and your preferred output (headphones, built-in, digital etc.) is set within the Digital Power Station app. Let me know what you find. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1902 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:02:42 +0000 woid 1902@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>I've continued to have relentless feedback problems with the beta — to the point that, when the last version expired two weeks ago, I didn't come back here to download the new one. This morning I did, but I haven't tested it yet to see if the feedback issue is still happening. I'm guessing yes, since it hasn't really been addressed in this forum. Is anybody else reporting this?</p> <p>Symptoms: Often when viewing videos, or when playing audio on iTunes (with the iTunes plugin turned off), there'll be a short glitch in playback, followed by a crescendo of slapback-type feedback (the same brief moment of audio echoing louder &amp; louder). The iTunes plugin doesn't do this, just the system-wide app. </p> <p>The feedback happens at unpredictable times, but it always happens sooner or later. I have to quit DPS and restart it (usually in a rush, while the feedback is becoming deafening).</p> <p>My system: 2 GHz Macbook 2006 running Snow Leopard, 2 GB of RAM. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1896 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:14:06 +0000 Joey Butera 1896@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>It sound like the driver switching logic is still at issue. Perhaps a control to disable automatic switching is in order for power users. This would enable creative routing with applications like Sound Flower for all kinds of interesting possibilities. </p> <p>In any case, as I mentioned in the version number forum, we are moving development of Mac SW to the fine folks at Art &amp; Logic who developed the Windows SW version with us. They are great at getting to the bottom of these types of issues. I'll have updates as to the progress of this soon. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1894 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:43:28 +0000 brd2929 1894@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Just wanted to say that I'd been having sync issues that have been driving me nuts since the most recent build. I've recently had bad ram issues so I thought it was linked to that because the effect was system-wide (flash videos on browsers, itunes (with itunes dps turned off), VLC, etc.) </p> <p>So far the on/off/on routine seems to correct the issue. </p> <p>I have intermittent issues while using Amplitube since it requires specific input/output audio settings that are apart from the system prefs. Basically, going into Amplitube will force DPS SW to turn off. If I try turning it back on, it'll shut back down or quit entirely. Personally, I prefer it off anyway but it's an odd bug. My guess is that it's having trouble competing with two different outputs at once. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1884 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:35:00 +0000 andreasJ 1884@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Didn't think of that, thanks for the help! </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1880 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:13:15 +0000 Joey Butera 1880@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>That certainly is odd!

As far as the Mac's audio system is concerned, iTunes is working same as usual whether or not DPS is running as an iTunes plugin. The complexities arise when we throw another audio driver in the mix as with Mac SW. Mac SW seeks to switch the drivers in the background so clearly the problem is in this logic when a Bluetooth device is connected. </p> http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/topic/mac-sw-functional-issues/page/2#post-1844 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:35:51 +0000 nukefixer1 1844@http://www.dpsinsider.com/forums/ <p>Build 0.1a , still having the same reported issues as previously reported in that when starting computer, Mac SW beta does not actually start even though its selected to start, It goes to menu bar, but I have to manually turn it on, but currently for me, this is a plus.</p> <p>I use the Bose Bluetooth Portable Speaker and this build, 0.1a still has issues with Bluetooth connectivity and external devices.
