Sound Error 2: ... unable to initialize sound effects

Author	Topic: Sound Error 2: ... unable to initialize sound effects
DanB Apprentice Member # 7737	written Tuesday, December 5 2006 06:46 Profile #0 I get the following message, when I open Avernum 4 (Universal) v1.1 on my iMac - Intel (running OS 10.4.8): Sound Error 2: Geneforge 4 was unable to initialize sound effects. The rest of the game plays fine, however. I have restarted the computer, but the same thing happens. I also tried it under the PPC version (I assume through Rosetta on this machine) and the same thing happened. Please help. I loved this game on my old PPC mac, but want to make sure I can get it to run on this Intel before purchasing more. Thanks!

"Unable to open sound channels" Error If you get the error "Unable to open sound channels" when you launch the game, carry out these steps to fix the problem: i. Open the Applications folder. ii. Open the Utilities folder. iii. In this folder, run "Audio MIDI Setup" iv. Under Audio Output, change the Format to 44100.0 Hz. This should correct the problem. -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

And, the sound for this game sounds so much better on this new iMac than on the old 333PPC. -------------------- -Dan Posts: 2 | Registered: Tuesday, December 5 2006 08:00
