I have recently switched to 6.0.2. I have noticed that the newest version of resedit that I have has an option to play snd resources, but it does not do so on my system. Hypercard has also stopped playing sounds for me. What gives? Chris

After a few of each (some system beeps, some HyperCard sounds) that HC(1.2.1) would go belly up. It seemed to me that it thought the mouse was down somewhere on the screen, and there was no way to convince it otherwise (clicking the mouse, unplugging it, etc.) HC just wouldn't recognize any input after that. The only remedy was to cycle the power of the mac. I reset the system error beep by zapping the pram and rebooting the machine (and then removing the sound cdev from the disk!). Anyway, I played around with System 6.0.2 and HC 1.2.1 the other day and noticed that if a system beep was selected, that HC would just refuse to play ANY sound in it. Once again, zapping the pram, rebooting, and trashing the sound cdev fixed the problem. I can live with the 'simple beep' for a while, anyway. -Tim G. Johnson -johnsot@jacobs.CS.ORST.EDU

If I can get this right... There has been a known bug that the Mac would freeze if there is a snd conflict. Hypercard grabs the sound manager when it opens and doesn't release it until it closes. I would guess that the problems seen with sound master or other new beeps is just that.
