[comp.sys.mac.programmer] PROBLEMS with sound & accelerator cards

milo@ndmath.UUCP (Greg Corson) (07/16/89)

I've been having some weird problems with an application I've written...
I use the "new" 6.0.2 sound manager calls to play snd resources (frequently)
and it seems that if someone has one of the INIT-based clocks which
beeps on the hour...it causes problems.  If the INIT and my program make a
sound at the same time, the mac crashes.  Anyone else experienced similar
problems?  Or have any idea of how to work around them?

Also, I've noticed that my application behaves strangely on machines with
16mhz 68000 accelerator cards installed, sometimes it doesn't draw
quickdraw pictures, other times it works fine.  It's kind of strange because
I know it works fine on all stock Apple boxes, regardless of speed or CPU, it
also works on an Atari ST with a mac emulator.  Is there anything special
about some of these 16mhz 68000 accelerator cards that would cause problems
not seen on other mac models?
