Hi Matt!
What is ChucK's default output bit-depth?
By default, ChucK talks to CoreAudio at 32-bit floating point.
16? every time I run it from the command line is resets the bit depth in OS X 10.4.7's Audio MIDI Settings to 16 bits. Is there a way to specify this?
Currently, there is no way to specify this. It would be worth adding! It's strange that it's getting set to 16-bit. Are you using the universal binary downloaded from site? Also, run --probe, which may tell you more about the available devices: > chuck --probe
Also, when I run MiniAudicle (MacBook, 10.4.7), adding a shred containing access to the dac causes MiniAudicle to crash. I've tried numerous different settings in both the MiniAudicle preferences and in OS X's Audio MIDI settings.
There is a bug in the intel version of the miniAudicle that causes real-time audio to crash. I believe Spencer has fixed this issue and will release a new version today.
Also, generally, can anyone comment on the infuriating susceptibility of the OS X Audio MIDI settings to being overridden, reset, changed, etc., by practically any application?
Can anyone else address this? I think this would be helpful for many OS X MIDI users. Best, Ge!
