I've noticed something that only happens "sometimes" with my sound (OS9.1 although it happens on OS8.6 too, only more often)...
At times when I've been playing an audio CD or even Quicktime movies, when I'm done I find my 'puter no longer has sound. It happens more often if I've put it to sleep, upon "wake up"... generally a restart fixes it, but not always.
A few tries at it works... a time or two I've found it's become turn off in the Appearance CP or the Sound CP...
Any ideas what's up with that? It can be very annoying!
-
Hi Dream , sorry no answers for you. I have not experienced the same problem...ever. Running 8.6 on a Beige G3/300.
Hope someone comes along that can help!

Well... we can always Blame It On Bernie I suppose Dolphin...
Speaking of whom... he's probably mad at me... I owe him an email...
It's a-comin' Bernie... I promise[/]...
BTW Dolphin do you get the Juno Awards there? It's April 6 and hosted by Shania Twain this year...
The sound thing is a mystery... mostly annoying, not too hard to fix...

I have had similar problems with other devices, usualy USB. If I unplug and then plug them back in they start working again. I did a disk repair and they don't happen..............as often. Oh well. Don't know if this is relevent to your problem but, just in case you are having a USB problem.

Hi DB!
Ya finely came out of that hot tub huh. What? Got tired of that 6' 4" blond swimming instructor?
Oh yeah ... your sound thingie. See what happens if you dump that prefs.
-
Thanks for the suggestion Smokin78... but I don't have any USB devices unless one counts my external firewire/usb LaCie pocket drive, it's always in firewire mode on this machine anyway though... much faster.
But you're right in that I don't know "how" many times a person's problems have been traced to USB!
Hey Bill... yeah I'm out of the hot tub now... I called it quits when the guy started expecting me to get out and bring him his beer while freezing to death... The nerve!
Have trashed the sound prefs... thanks, I'll see if it happens again.
-
See DB,I told ya (many times) I'd treat you much better than that.
I'd t-e-l-l you to f-e-t-c-h a whole six pack in one trip.
That way you could stay in the hot tub longer and s-e-r-v-e me my suds.
AND you thought I was mean.!. <gr>
-
Hey DB.
Just noticed you answered my "toe" post.
Forgot all about that pic. Don't even know if I've got thing around any more.
Got ya out of the lurking mode though .... didn't it!?!
-
Yup Bill... I'll give you the credit for that one... in fact, I had been following that thread, just didn't say anything cause I don't think there's a person left here who doesn't already know my feelings on that anyway!
As to your 6-pack... gosh darn, you just treat me so good! Throw in a pair of slippers to keep my little footsies from getting cold, OK...
Second thought... maybe I can train Spencer to fetch the beer... I can just see it now!
"Fetch! Spencer... fetch!" Dumb looks from dog... "Huh?... I'm 12 years old, got cloudy eyes and didn't anyone tell ya, ya can't teach an old dog new tricks... Git yerself!!"
-
I'd better not touch any of your last post girl! <gr>
Hmmm .. where did I put that soap again. <gr>
-
Well, I'll be... I've rendered him into a "no comment"*...
Let me know if you have trouble finding the soap... and be sure to take pictures...
* Just feeling "goofy" today... after about 6 months of -20 weather (OK so maybe it was only a couple of weeks, I lost track)... it was like 50 today...
WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!
-
I could of come up with something to the effect of .... Now that you're out and about DB, straighten that back,neck high, pump that chest out and say HI to everyone in a stern voice! .... But I won't. <gr>

Hi Dream , ...not sure if we get the Juno Awards or not...got to check that out. Love seeing Shania anytime...and hearing her.
-
Hey Dolphin...
Why not try digging around the Juno Awards Homepage to see what you can find.
We get it on CTV... there is a contact I think... near the bottom of the page in itty bitty letters.
I've got one happy sister too, she'll be here in time to watch it with me... she lives at home otherwise and the mother doesn't allow stuff like that on "her" TV...

Dream, I got a page NOT FOUND when I clicked on the little itty bitty print. Gonna check my cable providers site...I'm sure one of the hundreds of channels I get will televise it...will let you know!
your sis...is gonna be loving it I'm sure. Later!!!
-
I think you ought to be able to find it somewhere if you're on cable... I know some people get the CBC down there, which I like mainly for "down to the nitty gritty news"...
I'm not sure what to compare CTV to but I'd check the obvious ones like ABC, NBC or CBS...
Good luck! Sis and I will be, as they say... "Glued to the tube."
