Fix for Audio Glitch: GarageBand, Logic & OS 10.4.11 April 22, 2008
Posted by PJ in : Digital Audio Workstations, Digital home recording studios, GarageBand, Troubleshooting, Virtual Instruments , trackbackAfter recently installing Software update 10.4.11 for OSX, I found that some of my Logic and Garageband software instruments produced a crackling, distorted sound during playback and recording. Audio from other sources (iTunes, Quicktime, etc) seemed to be working fine. Oddly enough, the quickest solution was to turn OFF AirPort while using Logic or GB. I’ve since installed an older version of the AirPort software and after repairing permissions and rebooting – everything seems to be in order. For anyone having similar problems, try the two solutions mentioned above and let us know how things work out. I’ll keep you all posted on an update.
Update: It has been reported on the Apple Support forums (thread here) that the July 2008 Airport update does indeed fix this problem. The update (for OSX Tiger only) can be found here.

I was panicking when I had the exact same problem and was considering going back to 10.4.9 which was fine. Thanks for helping me sort my problem immediately! Which version of airport did you go back to and was it easy to install? Thanks. Tim
