The Logic Off Topic list

Hello folks,

I always have a firewire audio device (Yamaha i88x) connected to my  
mac, and all of the audio output is directed to that device. It has  
worked fine for almost 2 years. Starting about 6 months ago, 'Mail' no  
longer outputs its sound. I have tried setting System Preferences >  
Audio to Output 'Sound Effects' to 'mLan' (Firewire) and to selected  
System output device with no luck. As I said, Mail's sound (New Mail  
sound) use to be just fine. Now it it no-where to be heard.

Ant ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Same here with the Ensemble, except the "new mail" sound still gets  
through, not so about the rest of app specific sounds (iChat, Skype,  
etc.).

Andy,

I am exactly the inverse - no 'Mail' but I get all of the others.

Very strange. Thanks for the reply.

Dave

My point is this behavior is most probably driver specific... Or maybe
something's broken in the OS itself...

Best,
