[chuck-users] chuck and apple airpods?

[Michael Heuer]

Hello Ge,

I've also had trouble with Apogee Jam/Jam+ and Apogee ONE devices not
initializing correctly, I wonder if the fixes in 1.5 might also work for
those?

Please let us know if we might help test before the upcoming release!

Cheers,

   michael
