Minim problem: right channel distorted ALWAYS
Mar 25th, 2009, 9:54pm
 
I've been using processing for about two months now and everything has been working great, except yesterday I went to run a new sketch I was making (3D audio analyzer using the Minim library) and now when I'm accessing ANY sketch, new or old, that uses the Minim library my left channel comes through clean and the right distorted.  This is also happening with sketch's I exported as applications, so no modification has been made to the code or anything else that I can think of.

The weird thing is I took my code and tried it on another computer with the same result.  Then I took it and tried it on another computer that I had just downloaded fresh copy of Processing on and copied and pasted the AudioPlayer example from the minim library with the exact same result.

The sound cards on these computers are all fine as they will play the files I'm loading in (.mp3's) just fine on their own.

All the computers I tested on are running Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard), two were Mac Pro's, one was an iMac (newest release, intel based) and I'm 98% sure they were all running J2SE 5.0 (1.5 if you prefer).

Has anyone had a similar issue?  If so, how would I go about fixing it?  I don't even know what went wrong, it just up and happened when I tried to run what seems like a pretty simple sketch to me.

Code for the sketch I discovered the problem in is located at http://kylekellogg.com/processing/AudioAsteroids.zip

Any and all help is appreciated greatly.

Edit:  The problem has been resolved thanks to the thousandth or so Google search.

If anyone else finds they have the same problem, it can be resolved using http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Sound;action=display;num=1219504728.

So, thanks to kylevice for the helpful apple bug post and the instructions on how to fix it.
