I don't see why this thread is here,
Please, don't explain why; I'm already at the end of my tether with my issue unresolved and probably unresolvable issue and prefer not to get crazy because of sidetracking.
Thank you

They should be, as they use OSX's built in USB audio class driver AFAIK. But I'm beginning to doubt that. I've seen other problems with Sennheiser's USB headphones. And I know the USB audio class driver works well on OSX as there are numerous devices out there that use it. I have a number of those ...

Have you tried zapping the pram? Hold down option-command-p-r right after the startup sound to do so...

I have at least five USB audio class compliant interfaces here. None of these show any problem. Admitted, these are USB1 audio class devices, not USB2. I have USB2 only, unfortunately I switch from internal audio to an interface several times a day. It happens completely automatically. And it never...

Well, it's fixed... IIRC, you're not the first to report this problem with a Sennheiser USB headset. Must be something weird in these. Strange, it's a plug and play set; what problem could it cause? I've reported a problem with Audacity, not with the headset , when it was impossible to listen on th...
