Detour 1.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 2nd, 2003

Rogue Amoeba Unveils Detour - Now With OS X 10.1 Compatiblity

Princeton, NJ - Rogue Amoeba Software has updated Detour to version 1.1, adding support for OS X 10.1 and squashing many bugs. Additionally, Detour can now be used to redirect the audio output of screensavers. This update is free, and recommended for all users. Detour 1.1 (for OS X 10.1-10.2.6, 10.3 support coming soon) is immediately available for download and purchase. Head over to the Detour page for more information, or download Detour now. Detour is $12 shareware.

Detour provides the ability to choose the audio output device and relative volume for all of your applications - a capability never before seen on OS X that will appeal to users of all types. From serious audio pros to the computer music lover in all of us, Detour provides the control over your sound that you've always wanted.

With Detour, you can send iTunes music and DVD Player sound to an external set of speakers or headphones while keeping noises from iChat and other programs coming out of the computer's smaller built-in speaker. Keep your music distraction-free and never again be jarred out of a groove session.

Detour can also be used to lower the volume of some applications relative to others. Even users with just one system output will benefit from Detour. Use Detour to lower the volume on your email notifications so they don't cut through music and movies - or selectively mute programs which insist on making noise you don't need to hear.
