Some problems with minim (buzzing, Quicktime)
Nov 17th, 2008, 3:05pm  
Hi,

I'm using the minim library to play some audio files. I get this error message when the program first launches:

2008-11-17 14:00:33.277 java[988:19203] Error loading /Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component/Contents/MacOS/LiveType:  dlopen(/Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component/Contents/MacOS/LiveType, 262): Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LiveType.framework/Versions/A/LiveType
 Referenced from: /Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component/Contents/MacOS/LiveType
 Reason: image not found


Then the application works fine except for a very noticable buzzing in the right speaker (intensity seems to be linked to the volume of the audio which should be playing).

OSX 10.5 with latest processing + minim

That's a partly broken QuickTime or Final Cut Pro or Pro Application Support installation:

Cheers, I'd done a quick google search myself and come up with similar stuff. I'm not sure how to go about fixing the problem, though. I managed to get a Pro Application Support package from Apple, but when I tried to install it, it said my HD was not eligible for this update (or words to that effect). I assume this is because I already have it.

I dont have Final Cut Pro, so I assume it must be a broken QuickTime install, right?

Cheers for the help - but will this stop the buzzing problem im getting?

More updates...

I deleted the Library/QuickTime/LiveType.component which has taken away the error message, which is nice. Apparently something has installed the LiveType component when I don't actually have LiveType installed, which is why it was complaining.

But still, the buzzing remains. It sounds like what happens when you loop a very small section of audio very fast... its weird.

Any ideas?

Fixed the buzzing, it was to do with the sample rate set on my output in my Audio-Midi setup. I changed it to 44100 (the lowest) and it works.

Problems = fixed (for me at least), but hopefully this can help somebody else out.
