sricabla new member Registered: 10/31/10 Posts: 7	My iMac died so I switched to a late model Macbook Pro. When I hooked everything up and played just my iTunes app, the sound seemed like it had too much gain. Pops and clicks and overall bad audio. I have Mackie HR824 monitors. I checked the usual culprits (that I know of at least) reinstalled drivers, Checked system prefs. etc. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Paul in Iowa advanced member Registered: 03/14/15 Posts: 71 Loc: Iowa	you are on the right track!! bit rate etc. I mac has a better sound board inside. most lap tops and etc pads are lower cost... check the drivers etc... also check the settings on the rates... I bet there is something set to low rate or too hot of gain. I had similar issues with the new win 8.1 laptops last summer. it was a level issue... settings inside defaulting on other programs. works fine now.. was a pain to find!! ask the apple store guy's... I bet they may know where to look exactly. _________________________ Thanks Paul in Iowa
