I've been a Mac owner for a long time, and I can even program it
(given enough time, which never happens), so I know something about
resources, etc. But I know almost nothing about sounds. I think
there are several different incompatible types of sound resources, and
different programs use different ones.
Can anyone tell me
What are the different kinds of sound resources?
Are any of these "official"?
Which programs use which kinds?
And more specifically,
Is the Sound Driver section in IM-II still worthwhile reading,
or is it hopelessly outdated?
How do I reset my Mac+ so it just beeps on errors? (GimmeBackSysBeep
is apparently not for Mac+'s.)
I'm not asking for a definitive treatise here (though I wouldn't be
sorry to get one!), just a road map and a few pointers. It's about
time I learned about this side of the Mac!

To get a vomiting sound on disk ejection, You need the INIT MacPuke. You'll soon get tired of it though. :-) Dave McClean.

It stirred up a related question: What about SoundMaster? I remember people using it on various mac's around here, getting wonderful stuff like theme from StarTrek on startup, Dragnet for uninitialized disks, etc. I didn't have the use of a mac at the time, so I didn't pay much attention. Then I got an SE. So I got SoundMaster from somebody, installed it, set the sounds from ControlPanel, restarted - nothing. Why does it not work? System 6.0.2 is installed - I suspect this has something to do with it. Is there a newer version that works today? I seem to have v1.1 23Mar88. But I really want a vomiting sound on disk ejection... -- Carl Paukstis "I'm the NRA" | DOMAIN: carlp@frigg.ISCS.COM NOTE preferred mail address change, | UUCP: ...!uunet!iscuva!frigg!carlp although the old one will forward. | Ma Bell: +1 509 927-5439 We'll be changing DOMAIN name shortly to "ISC-BR.COM".
