I tried to watch Apple’s October 5th Special event stream but was stymied by missing audio on my PowerBook. It worked fine on the iMac so I got my fix of Special Event Goodness™ OK.

minusdelta posted a fix he (she/they) found to the Apple forums and I repeat it here:

• Quit Quicktime.
• Open /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.
• Select the Audio tab
• Set the output to 44100 not 96000 and quit
• Try again in quicktime.

Weirdest thing…
