BinkyToy making horrid distortion noise
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2005 6:37 pm
Just used MsPinky for the first time in about a year. Since then, I've added more RAM to my laptop and upgraded to OSX10.4. I use a Maya44 for audio I/O.
Of course initially the Maya44 interface was entirely broken, but following advice from the forums, I was able to fix it using the Audio Aggregate Device Editor.
As soon as it started working, I noticed a huge improvement in vinyl response time! Apparently the extra 500MB RAM made a big difference, and I am real excited about the possibilities.
Unfortunately, BinkyToy's audio output now has intermittent nasty distortion noise. Here is what it sounds like:

I recorded this by sending my Maya's output onto a minidisk.
This error happens independent of vinyl-demodulation-- it appears to be a playback issue only.
My audio output is not distorted for any other program. The same MP3s that sound perfect in iTunes or Quicktime are distorted in BinkyToy.
What do you think could be causing the problem, and how can I fix it?
Much thanks!
