Demonstrate Clicking Bug in Apple JavaSound
A continuous tone played using JavaSound on Macintosh will click or pop occasionally, every few seconds. The clicks do not occur on Windows. Also the clicks do not occur when using a ridiculously large output buffer.
Note that these clicks are unrelated to JSyn. There is no JSyn code in the test Applet.
- Listen to clicks with a 16KB buffer.
- Listen to clicks with a 32KB buffer.
- Listen to click free audio with a big 128 KB buffer.
The Java source code is available here.
A bug report, #8065290, was filed with Apple on 6/5/10.
