Use WPLANY, not WHAM. WHAM will work, but it does require manual intervention
to convert the files to 8-bit and play them. At least, I have not found any
way to have WHAM play them automatically. WPLANY, on the other hand does just
that. It does not have the ability to modify the .WAV file that WHAM has;
it is just a player.
That said, does your speaker driver play .WAV files for Windows events? If not,
you may not have the speaker properly installed.
If it does play for Windows events, the driver is installed properly. The
problem then probably lies in your MOSAIC.INI file. The attached is a copy
of my MOSAIC.INI, showing only the pertinent settings:
[Viewers]
type8="audio/basic"
audio/basic="p:\mosaic\wplany.exe %ls"
[Suffixes]
audio/basic=.au,.AU,.aud,.AUD
It is IMPERATIVE that you use AUDIO/BASIC, not AUDIO/WAVE or anything
else. The file type is set by the server that is supplying you the
file, not by the client software. I and about a dozen others (those that
posted, there were probably a lot more) made the same mistake.
If Mosaic is loading WHAM, then Mosaic is already set up correctly and you
can just substitute WPLANY for WHAM in MOSAIC.INI.
BTW, you can use WPLANY outside of Mosaic to play sound files in Windows
that you have downloaded from an FTP site or whatever. Simply open the
Windows File Manager and associate the .WAV extension with WPLANY. From
then on, simply double-click on the .WAV file.

Subject: Problems
Here is my problem...
I have winsock installed on my pc, I am using goslip as a dialer and to change
the communications parameters of my server. I can request 'slip' services
from the server - but then nothing seems to work. I have winftp and wsatest,
and a bunch of other programs for winsock, but known of them will access the
server. I am looking for any help? It also seems that once SLIP is requested
tcpman and my modem no longer communicate (supra 14.4v.32bis).
Also what is winsock looking for when it asks for a name server and
a domain suffix.
Thanks for the help.
