Too many posters here seem to be having trouble. I'll check again Sunday and see if there's more info.

For those interested here is an article on possible fixes for the audio "pops."

Thanks for that link. I am also getting the audio pops with my Mini. It seems they happen immediately before a sound is played and 30 seconds afterward. To check this, adjust the volume on the menu bar with the clock set to display seconds.

Has anyone had any problems with usb webcam's since the update?

Both I and a friend have mac mini's (most recent models) and logitech quickcam pro 5000's... which worked perfectly without the need for any drivers...

until the 10.4.10 update.

now the video still works in the likes of skype, but the audio device associated with the webcam's microphone is gone

Any ideas on how I can restore this functionality would be very much appreciated.

thanks

I updated my MBP with 10.4.10 last night, and everything went smoothly. I didn't notice any audio problems, but I didn't do much more than listen to iTunes.

I haven't updated the Mini yet.

As mentioned by others on other forums, the problem is that the sound circuitry is going in power save mode (the thump 30 seconds after a sound) and coming back on (the thump before a sound plays).

This is normal for MacBooks on battery power, but you can't hear it with the very weak notebook speakers (particularly weak at the low frequencies of this thump). It's especially noticeable with a subwoofer. I verified it happens with 10.4.9 on my MacBook with external speakers, when the AC power is removed. Since Minis don't have batteries, it should never occur on them.

Others testify this problem of it doing it on AC occurs on the MacBook/MacBook Pro with external speakers and 10.4.10, so since I use my MacBook with external speakers (and AC power), I'm not going to do the update on it until Apple fixes the problem.

Hope this helps,

It seems as though 10.4.10 has stopped my Belkin USB/Firewire Hub(the one that sits under the Mini) from working. The firewire ports work, but the USB ports no longer power anything. I just plugged it into a different machine w/10.4.9 installed and poof it works. It's not the ports on my Mini because I have other hubs plugged into them now.

I wish I had thought of checking this before ordering a replacement.

I ended up fixing my problem, and haven't encountered any "popping" noises coming out of my speakers. Seems like and odd update for some.

I would have to agree please no 10.4.11.


But i look at this with open arms if this is truly the last version update for mac os x tiger I would have to say what a ride.

Mac os x tiger has been one of the most greatest funnest operating systems that apple has released. In years and with my beta testing of leopard about to come to a end all i can say is mac users will not be dissapointed by the new os and apple will keep the legacy of mac os x on and on into the next version.
