Summary:
I just downloaded the CDEV-SOUND-RESOURCES (all 5 parts) from sumex.
However, some of them (the baby, bark, "Boom! oooh..." come to mind)
play twice as fast as they should. (I have a Mac II. They should
play correctly, no?)
I have a note in my comp.sys.mac archive about changing the sampling
rate in the "snd " resource using ResEdit. I would happily do this,
except I can't iopen the sound resources with ResEdit 1.1b3. When
I double-click on the resource, nothing happens. I believe this may
be because ResEdit cannot handle large resources, and these sound
resources are on the order of 30K.
Is there any way to fix these sounds so they play at the correct
speed? Should I go in with Fedit and change raw bytes? (I think I
will do this if there's no simpler way.) Also, why did whoever posted
these set the wrong sample rate in the first place??!! Grumble...
Also, I installed the sounds in my system with ResEdit, and they
failed to work (they just produced a simple "beep" when clicked on).
Then I modified Suitcase as suggested in the manual, so the sounds
lived in a file on disk. Now, the sounds play properly, even though
they are no longer in the system file. Suitcase fixed the problem,
somehow. Any ideas? (Also, any news on a MultiFinder-compatible
version of Suitcase?)
