- Using SoundMaster with System 6.0
-
- System 6.0 adds the Mac II beep capability and includes a new version of
- the Sound cdev which works on all machines. Unfortunately, it can conflict
- with the way that SoundMaster's beep sound works. I have tried out
- SoundMaster 1.2 with System 6.0 and here are my results:
-
- * SoundMaster's beep sound overrides the system beep sound from System 6.0.
- To use the 'snd ' resource beep, go into SoundMaster, select the beep sound,
- then click the 'Off' button and restart. This will cause the beep sound
- code from System 6.0 to be used. To switch back to using the SoundMaster
- beep sound, click the 'On' button for the beep sound and restart.
-
- * If you have an old (512e) Macintosh with a third-party memory upgrade,
- you will NOT be able to change beep sounds with the new Sound cdev. This
- is NOT a problem with SoundMaster. It is because you have an old clock
- chip and don't have the extended parameter RAM (PRAM) where the 'snd '
- resource ID gets saved. You will ONLY be able to use the 'simple beep'
- sound with the Sound cdev. (Anyone want to send me a Mac Plus clock chip
- or at least tell me if they can work in an old [purchased Jan '85] Mac?)
-
- * All other SoundMaster sounds work properly, although it seems that the
- bad disk sound can now get interfered with by disk access in addition to
- the disk insert and eject sounds which were previously interfered with.
