Core Audio
 

Can someone please tell me why Core Audio launches.....occasionally....when I launch Safari? It does not happen everytime and I cannot see any common reason why it does open in this sporadic manner.

This is annoying because I will go surf the web and then go to open a PT session and I will be told that the hardware is in use by another program. I then have to Force Quit Core Audio to proceed.

Since I run my computer audio and the 002 Main outs through a mixer and NEVER use iTunes or any other audio through my 002 hardware.....do I even need Core Audio?

In that case, no, you don't need it. Just bare in mind if you want to use any third part apps with your 002, Logic, Peak, FCP etc. you won't be able to without core audio.

Is built in audio set under system preferences or digi hardware, try trashing the safari prefs.

If you have your "Default Output" set to Digi HW, then anytime an app wants to make any sound (ie a beep), the CoreAudio Manager will be launched. If you want to avoid this, you can set your Default Output to something other than Digi HW.

All of my audio on my iMac is set to 'bulit in audio', that way the only time the mbox is used is when Pro Tools is launched. It's MSN messenger that is launching core audio, not sure how to stop it????

I've managed to sort it, i went in to audio/midi device setup under utilities. My built in audio sample rate was set to 96k, not sure how i've never touched it. I set it back to 44.1 and messenger has stopped launching core audio.

Result!

Well my default output is set to the Revolution 7.1 soundcard and my setting is 44.1 in the Audio Midi setup, so while helpful hints they don't apply here for me.

Just now I booted and I saw the momentary brief image of the Core Audio manager window open up.....checked the dock and there it was in all it's annoying glory.

I appreciate the responses, thanks.
