"AFTER EFFECTS WARNING: memory ineffiency due to 1 unbalanced layer checkouts"
I've been getting this pop-up error message upon closing AE3. My utility maintenance
software says the memory boards are fine. I'm running 8.5GB of RAM on a G5 Quad (PPC)
OSX 10.4.10. I'm also getting a lot of "unable to start audio hardware" error messages while
doing RAM previews. Suggestions?

After Effects THREE? Is this a typo?
If not, I'd seriously consider an upgrade. I'm pretty darned sure AE3 got dead-ended at OS9. So if you can't run Classic anymore, you're probably going to have weird problems like this.

Well, if that OS of yours is the new Leopard, you've got problems. Adobe can't get the modifications done to make AE work properly with Leopard until December.
The sticky post at the top of this forum 'splains it all.

Don't know if it helps but I'm running AE CS2 on a WinXP Pro system with an open GL card and I've seen it too.
I was using DigiEffect DE Fire (which I feel is kind of buggy to begin with, darn fractals) and got the message on shutdown.
Maybe it's the Open GL? Some web hunting came up pretty short of an answer and Adobe's site doesn't have anything about it that I could find.
One answer I found said that it was a program issue, but I figure that won't stop the eventual round of finger pointing.
I've had startup problems with Adobe softs before, more often than not it's a preference file glitch, does AE have one? If so, trash it (better yet, rename it just in case) and it'll make a new one.

Thanks Joe for the info, I can't find any help either on the web or at Adobe.
I don't use Open GL within AE, but I never had this issue until I made the AE CS3 upgrade.
I'll try trashing the preference file and see if it makes a difference.
