Hopefully 10.7.1 does indeed resolve the problem - some of the discussions suggest that the combination of updating to 10.7.1 and resetting the PRAM and SMC may be efficacious. “Improve the reliability of Wi-Fi connections.” This has been a major problem for Lion users, to the point where there are several lengthy complaint threads in the Apple Support Communities, one with over 500 comments and another with nearly 400 comments. Apple described that bug as “System audio that stops working when using HDMI or optical audio out.”

“Address an issue that may cause the system to become unresponsive when playing a video in Safari.” Although Apple’s description makes no reference to the significant video freezes that users of recent iMacs have encountered under Lion, both Kirk McElhearn and Michael Cohen tell me that they haven’t experienced any freezes since upgrading to 10.7.1 (see “ Video Viewing in Lion Freezes New iMacs,” 4 August 2011).

Mac OS X 10.7.1 - With OS X Lion Update 10.7.1 (Client), Apple calls out only five specific fixes, and while there are undoubtedly a few others, the update is small - only 17.4 MB via Software Update for me, and 79.29 MB from Apple’s site - implying that it really is a focused update. As always, we recommend you have a solid backup in place before proceeding with a system update until such time as Apple allows us to roll-back from a problematic update. Should you update? Apple’s recent woes with minor Mac OS X updates lead me to suggest that it might be worth waiting a few days, but this update is so focused that the chance that it would introduce significant new problems seems low.
