Ircam's FTM gabor issue

Sandy Nordahl's icon

I recently switched to a MACBOOK PRO and after I downloaded the FTM objects and tried using the Gabor granulator I get a full volume sine tone as soon as I start the audio that lasts a couple of seconds then stops and then works normally. Has anyone else had this issue? I never had this problem in the past with my mac mini. Not sure if it is the macbook or Yosemite or Max 6.1.9.
This occurs even when using the Gabor example patch. Tried downloading the FTM package again.
Here is what I'm running;
Macbook Pro late 2013
8 gigs ram
Yosemite 10.10.1
Max 6.1.9
Motu Ultralite

Update; this happens with all the Gabor help menu and associated objects. When I first turn on the dac there is a brief (1 second) of noise or a sine tone at full volume then stops. I can then turn on and off the dac after that without any issues until I close and reopen the file. Then it happens again.
Gain control in the patch doesn't change anything either. Even with gains down upon opening of the patch or help menu I get the same full volume issue.
