[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Need help with sound

dmr@csli.Stanford.EDU (Daniel M. Rosenberg) (07/10/90)

Can anyone recommend documentation and/or source code (ftp'able
or in print) about the Sound Manager? We have Inside Mac Vol. 5,
and it doesn't provide the level of detail we're looking for.

We'd like to convert some data files into a format that we could
play over the sound port. They are digitized at about 20 kHz with
16 bits of resolution. Can the new sound chip even handle 16 bits
of resolution? From what we could divine from Inside Mac, it's
only 8 bits...

Any help appreciated,

Telnet to apple.com and look around in the dts directory (something
like /pub/mac/dts).  There is a file called sound-manager.hqx
which corrects all the errors and adds new information to 
Inside Mac v. 5.

Yes, the Mac does only 8-bit playback.
