Sound setup bad? Not compared to 5 or 10 years ago, no. During that period (I can guarantee!) both Win and OSX were ALSO -miserable- experiences. Swim 10 yards, gain a foot bad. Make music for 5 minutes, debug the system for 2 hours bad.
Hmmph. Kids nowadays.
- walls 13y ago> During that period (I can guarantee!) both Win and OSX were ALSO -miserable- experiences. Really? Because Windows XP has been out for 12 years, and that was far from a "miserable experience".
- eridius 13y agoDo you have anything at all to back up this claim? Sound on Mac OS and OS X has always been an It Just Works™ experience, largely due to the tight integration between the hardware and the software (never any driver issues, etc).
- njr123 13y agoAre you trolling? 5 to 10 years ago?! Windows 7 already came out 4 years ago. Windows XP is 12 years old, and audio already worked perfectly then. Hell, I can remember using Win 3.1 almost 20 years ago, and the audio there worked pretty well too, for the limited use cases the pc could handle.
- teeja 13y agoInstead of the word "sound" I should have made clear that I was referring to professional audio, not PC-speaker quality sound. Unless you could afford a full-time technician, the hard- and software hurdles were formidable.
