Audio Problems Driving Me Crazy

[Michael Ferguson]

Hello George,

Ever since I switched my main XTension mac to a newer iMac running 10.11.3, I have had problems with the system volume being set to random values.

Sometimes several times a day, and sometimes a couple of days between events.

I have put a scheduled script to work, running every 5 minutes, that checks the current system volume, and if not what I want it to be, I set it and announce the event by voice and log.

set vol to output volume of (get volume settings)
if vol ≠ 100 then
    speak "Volume settings set to " & vol
    write log "Volume settings set to " & vol & " Resetting to 100"
    set volume output volume 100
end if

I have no idea why this happens, but it is irritating.

PS:  spell volume enought times and it totally loses its meaning :)
