[QUOTE="3tents, post: 1067606, member: 161906"] [b]Woodwork feminist[/b] You might want to check your system sound settings in the system preferences section. You might have the output audio going through the Lacie speakers and causing a problem with other sounds. I've had similar problems in the past when trying to record audio through a firewire device. It usually has something to do with the audio output settings. One other thing I like to do is reset the pram every now and again. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1242]Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM[/url] To do that, restart the computer and when the grey screen appears and you hear the intro bong, hold down the 4 buttons command, option, P, and R at the same time till it restarts again and you hear the intro bong a second time. You can let go after that. Whenever there's something funky wih the hardware, i like to try that. [/QUOTE]
