[comp.sys.mac] Sound on Mac II

I am the proud owner of a new Mac II.  I have several programs that allegedly
"talk", such as the talking moose, talking keyboard, and a program that I 
actually paid money for called "KidsTime".  None of these programs do any
talking, though.

Is the Mac II sound interface different than other Macs?  Is my machine
broken?  What's going on here?

The original Macintalk is highly timing-dependent, and so won't work
very well on a 68020.  APDA was listing a revised Macintalk for the
Mac II but I haven't tried it.

I too have the Impulse digitizer, and while it does work on the Mac II,
there is a distinct "whine" in the background of anything I digitize which
was NOT there on a Mac Plus using the same hardware.

I've sent a sample of the result to Impulse and will let you know what
they say.

Hi, I have noticed that many applications for the Mac will run on a Mac II, but
will lose their sound...  Is their any way to fix this problem?
