Hi All, For those who want to know (I never got a response from all the places I posted!), it seems to be an issue with OS X putting the sound manager to sleep when there is no sound output for a certain amount of time. It seems that this is a common problem on TiBooks. The "fix" is to run a background app that sends out a "silent" sound every ten minutes. It doesn't happen in 9 because 9 uses a different system for sound and does not put it to sleep. I figure that after a system update the sound manager may have also been updated, thus being switched off at some point.
