It autostarts whenever i play anything which is cool, but at first i was wondering why i got a delay sound when listening to music through internal soundcard and not my M-Audio card. Turns out i totally forgot that i installed Hear weeks ago and was surprised it started automatically. A small adjustment in settings and tweaking to get your own sound and get rid of the delay and is all good..
I used to use VLC to playback music because iTunes soundwise as a mediaplayer totally suck without HEAR. But VLC has no decent library like iTunes so it was like a mixed affair.
Now im back to iTunes and runs it with HEAR for better sonical experience and higher volume output through headphones.
This software rules! Good EQ, very powerful and sensitive with plenty of FX to pile on top. Easy tabbed interface to turn off any FX on one page if you desire.

When making a call with this app installed Skype would completely crash.
Only good thing was that the uninstall worked!
To make matters worse, there doesn't appear to be a way of soliciting help from the developer via the support site email message system, as Hear is not listed as one of the developer's products. Can anybody help, please?
Not happy!

This application HAVE PROBLEMS WITH EXTERNAL INTERFACES.
I use Soundflower for test, but have stability problems in Lion.
Only works for 5 min. or two songs.
Waiting for a fix or update. Or better alternative.

Please note that Hear does work with some USB speakers, but its intended use by design is not for professional audio equipment via USB.
Hear is positioned and marketed to enhance the audio from itunes, DVD's and other sources through the use of the headphone jack on your Mac.

In the coming years I think.
Hear is not compatible with Front Row and not compatible with Snow Leopard's Quicktime X.

And there's no update from Joesoft for more than one year now! This is not serious. And they still continue to sell it on their website!
It is sad, because it is a beautifully designed products, but it just doesn't work anymore. :( Hopefully, there's some companies that put a real development on their product and take really care of their consumers. Audio Hijack Pro from Rogue Amoeba Software is the alternative and it really works the way you want!
Goodbye Joesoft! It was (almost) a pleasure using (and paying!) your software.

So I will use SRSiWOW - that works - without restarting my Mac every time!

We are seeing a few isolated cases, where, after some amount of time (usually a few weeks or so), that Hear requires a restart. We are looking into the cause of this and once determined, can look for a bug fix for that. Its not occurring for most customers and therefore it makes it trickier to track down and reproduce.
Cheers,

We are running several test machines with this set up and not seeing any issues-- Please contact our support team as we'd love to see what is going on -- Also, try a restart, as that may rectify the problem---
Cheers,
