[I've already dropped a note off to Farallon about this, but what the hey...] Anyone out there tried to play stereo sounds in SoundEdit stereo format, using SoundEdit, through the Stereo jack on the back of an SEx (aka SE/30)? I got MacRecorder this week, and it comes with a stereo sound that says "Left" on the left channel and, a few seconds later, "Right" on the right channel. Playing it using SoundEdit, through a stereo headset connected to the SEx's stereo jack, plays only the left channel. It plays it through both earphones of the headset, though, so it's not a loose connection. I am assuming that SoundEdit doesn't recognize that the SEx has a stereo jack. But, is this just me, or has someone else had this problem? I should point out that I'm using SoundEdit 1.0 -- I've written to Farallon about the upgrade to 1.1, and expect it soon. I'll summarize what I find out from Farallon here... "To the unwashed public, that woman is a star.

On the issue of sound on the SE/30 (SEx), have others also noticed that there is far less power running out the stereo jack than there was on the SE? I have a pair of Sony Walkman-size extension speakers, and they were "Loud and Proud" on my SE--perfect for demonstrations to a group. Now that I have my SE/30, I get very little volume from them, even with the volume set to 7. Did Apple go with a lower/higher impedance on the jack in the SE/30? .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {rosevax, crash, orator}!orbit!pnet51!pj | "Ah!

I did hear that they lowered the volume. The idea was that the old volume was dangeriously loud if someone plugged in headphones. Seems they figured that you couldn't drive *much* of a speaker at the old level so they threw in a resistor-or-two to make it at least useable as a multi-thousand dollar Walkman. I guess you will have to get a pair of amplified speakers. Apple *once* sold Bose Roommates just for such use--but that's a different subject. Kent Borg kent@lloyd.uucp or ...!hscfvax!lloyd!kent
