"Use quick format at all times with Amithlon"

Thanks, I didn't know that, Bill.

I'm going to be a hog and stick my sound problem in here, Seems to be OnTopic? (Also pasted to the mailing list)

PlayCD plays/ejects CDDA Disc, but only can be heard thru headphones!
Amplifier loads MP3, but locks up and cannot be "killed" -reboot

They work fine via AmigaXL
No luck with puhDerBaer either (don't really need it, no games)

PlayCD active tooltypes:

DOSDEV=CD0
DONOTWAIT

AC97Mixer: After installing this, I get recoverable alerts when opening
tools, so its not active..do I really need it?

See there seem to be SO many variables, anyone see something wrong?  need more info?  any feedback much appreciated!    

[Lo]

You are having a Creative's SB128. AC97 mixer is only for AC97 on-board sound card. That is why you are having a recoverable alert.""
____________________________________________

Makes sense to me, only I keep reading that it works/needed for SB128 as well on the mail list.

[Lo]

Perhaps I should concentrate on the AC97Mixer or is there another mixer to try?  I believe the author of AC97 frequents the ML, maybe I should email him.

Can't wait for sound!
