I have a problem that appeared when I upgraded my Mac IIfx to System
7.0. The manifestation is that playing any sound other than the
simple beep causes the system to hang.
* If I go to the "sounds" control panel and select any sound other
than "simple beep", the system plays the sound once and then
hangs.
* If I open the system file with ResEdit, select the SND resources,
select one of them, and then select "play sound" under the SND
menu, the system plays the sound, and puts up the dialog box
saying "Now playing sound ...." and hangs until I click the
"stop" box in the dialog.
I have no inits or unusal CDEVS. I've installed twice, throwing away
the system folder between installations. Other users with presumably
identical hardware have installed Sys 7.0 from the same set of disks,
with no problems.
So what have I got? Is this a known failure mode? A hardware
problem?
