Something was good with 2.2b12 |

When you released 2.2b12 I had just gotten to the point were I knew how to install X so I downloaded it and it worked great. I later found out that it was not normal to be able to use the sound control in X but I could. Then when you released 2.2 I decided to download it. After I installed it I could not use my sound control. So I decided to go back to 2.2b12 but when I did I still did not have the Sound Control. Is there a way I might be able to get it back? i know you probably don't have a good idea of how unless downgrading does not change the extensions or something. Thanks for any help (P.S. 2.2b12 was never an official ve r sion and its not on the version history list in case anyone was w ondering.(At least i don't think it was : ) |

That is very interesting. For me (and many others), the sound volume settings in System Preferences (and the menu item) don't work. But the sound volume settings in individual apps (like iTunes) do work. Once I have time to focus on this issue, I'll probably seek out you folks for whom it is working, and see if we can figure out what is different for you and for us. |

I don't know if it has always been the case but I can use the system volume level in the finder to turn sound off and on. I noticed it a while back and it still works in XPF 2.2.1 |

I am probably missing something from earlier. On my PM8600/300 sound works in OS X just the same as it does in OS 9. I mean the sound preference panel will select a shound and a volume, the menu bar sound icon changes volumes and of course iTunes and other applications that generate sound, do in fact generate sound. The only thing that I would consider an anomoily is that when I have muted the sound by dragging the menu bar sound icon to its lowest setting, it seems to disable the volume settings in the Sound control panel. This is not much of an inconvience, but if I wish to make changes in the preference panel I need to make sure the sound is turned on in the menu bar. William Ove |

i reinstalled everything with no luck. oh well its nothing that importent because i have externalspeakersthat have a control but they are kind of hot wired to a pair of small stereo speakers. i dont want to turn the speakers up to much because i might fry the little amp in the speakers. but all i need sound for is iTunes and the sound control works fine in iTunes thanks P.S you might remember i told you that the sound worked a macworld |

RE: XPostFacto 2.2b12 and sound volume |

Using a different version of XPostFacto does not automatically reinstall the extensions--you would need to use the 'Reinstall Extensions' option in the 'Advanced' menu to do that. I must not have released version 2.2b12 generally--I forget exactly what problem I was testing a solution for then. There aren't any differences between the extensions in 2.2b12 and 2.2b14, by the way. If, when you reinstall the 2.2b12 extensions, the sound volume control works for you again, I'd be very interested in hearing about that. There isn't anything about 2.2b12 that I would expect to have that effect, but you never know. It is interesting that sound volume worked for you at all--I wish I knew why. If it worked with 2.2b12 then, but won't with 2.2b12 now, then I wonder whether it might have something to do with PRAM settings somehow (which will have changed in the meantime). I really must track down exactly how Mac OS X goes about changing volume settings. |
