A friend of mine have just bought an Amiga 3000, and the multisync monitor he got with it does not have any loudspeaker, so to get any sound out of the machine he has to connect it with his tape recorder! Is it usual that multisync monitors don't have loudspeakers and whatabout the TT? _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | Niklas Grip | University of Luleaa | Some day I will | | Vallstensgatan 7 | Internet: d90-ngp@sm.luth.se | make some nice | | 951 59 Luleaa | Bitnet : d90-ngp%sm.luth.se@sekth | logo and remove | | SWEDEN |====================================| this damn text! | | Phone: 0920-26228 (international: +46 920 26228) | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The TT has a speaker built in. It also has stereo output jacks on the back so you can hook it up to an amplifier and speakers, and you can turn off the internal speaker if you want. The idea is that the internal speaker can be used for normal stuff like beeps and bells, but for high-quality digitized sound you're likely to want to use the stereo outputs. The digital sound always goes to the stereo output jacks; you can control whether the PSG sound (clicks and beeps) also goes there. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt

If you run programs that boot from disc there's no possibility to switch off the sound unless the program allows it. So if a program (especially games) makes a hell of a noise you can do nothing against it. (There's only one solution: Don't play games.) ******************************************************** * Uwe Seimet * * seimet@sun.rhrk.uni-kl.de * *------------------------------------------------------* * I hate this machine, I wish that they would sell it. * * It doesn't what I want but only what I tell it. * * (Programmer's lament) * ********************************************************
