We have had reports of an audio problem when using DJ-1800 on Mac OS 10.4.11 on an Intel Mac.

The reported problem is that playing a track in DJ-1800 results in crackles and dropouts in the playing audio.

On further investigation, it turns out that this problem is caused by a recent AirPort Extreme software update from Apple, rather than a bug in DJ-1800. The problem is also affecting other audio applications, including Apple’s own GarageBand.

We have found a way to fix this problem on your Mac. We have put together a comprehensive FAQ about this problem, with full instructions for the fix. If you have any queries, or if you think this may affect your setup, please do read the FAQ for more information.

We have just released DJ-1800 v3.1b5. It contains one minor bug fix over v3.1b4, as well as an extended expiry date of June 30th 2008. Please do read the beta history page for a complete list of updates and changes.

We have made further investigations into an audio problem when using DJ-1800 v3 on Leopard.

We have narrowed the problem down to a very specific set of circumstances, which the majority of users should never encounter.

We have put together a comprehensive FAQ about this problem. If you have any queries, or if you think this may affect your setup, please do read the FAQ for more information.
