I use my Macs for audio a lot, including with headphones, and have never experienced this in 20 years.

This is one of those things that make you question reality somewhat as I know, from seeing countless videos and having some familiarity with the topic, that macs dominate desktop music production - I've never seen a producer or a DJ using windows, ever. This is apparently because the USB audio stack on mac is so streamlined that the buffering is minimal, i.e. you can basically apply realtime audio effects and mix 'live' using a USB output sink, i.e. that you can DJ with it.

Now apparently there's a game-breaking bug? For 10 years? And it's a really really big deal?

Hmm.

  • well this is seemingly only when adjusting volume on the Mac itself. The Apogee plugged into my Mac has its own volume control, that doesn't suffer from this drift.
