PM 5500 TV card audio settings/AppleScript - 2006/12/05 18:55 Greetings,

I have a 5500 with a TV card, and everytime I launch and quit the TV app, I have to manually reselect the TV-CD-Video source in the Sound control panel (for TV audio to work). The Mac has not been turned off, it just won't save my selected audio source.

I have tried to create an AppleScript to select the audio source, but it won't record my mouse click on the TV output. The script stops recording at the opening of the Sound control panel.

I know little about AppleScript and wonder if there is a way to get the script to select the audio source? If I manually select the TV audio, shut down, and wait for the scheduled start up/or restart, It works... But I have to do this every time. The idea was to place this "audio select script" in the startup items folder before the TV app launch?

I just wanted a novel TV alarm clock... It did work 5 years ago, but the MotherBoard WAS installed in another "box" (5400 vs 5500)
Do I just need a new battery? The time settings are saved.

Sorry for the long post.

Cheers!
