TICKET ARCHIVE -> PowerBook sound

No Wonder User - Mar 2, 1998 - 10:49 am

Knowledge Level: Intermediate
Problem: Hardware
Computer Type: Apple
Model: PowerBook 1400cs
RAM: 48meg
RAM Enhancer: None
OS Version: System 7.5.3

Description:
For some reason, I have lost the sound in my PowerBook. When I go to "Monitors and Sound," I see the mute box is checked. I can uncheck it,
but as soon as I close the window, it is immediately checked again.

I have rebuilt the desktop, zapped the Pram, disabled the
Speech Manager and Speech (which the Apple Guide says should be done).

It turns out that colleagues of mine have experienced the same problem with their PowerBooks--an apparently permanent "check" in the mute box that cannot be unchecked.

Suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for your help,

Bill Cain (Wellesley College)

Hi William and welcome to No Wonder

Have you tried deleting the sound preferences file?
