- I had a similar problem with my NeXT (Color Turbo) going mute. I had started
- to upgrade to NeXTstep 3.0 by using the installer floppy diskette included
- with the upgrade package. Because of problems with my cd drive, I
- was unable to complete the upgrade. After this attempt at upgrading, my
- NeXT would no longer produce any sounds; the mute button seemed stuck.
-
- After further examination I realized that the floppy disk used for initial
- upgrade procedure had installed the 3.0 Mach kernel. The 3.0 kernel does
- not seem to be able to load the 2.1 sound driver. After later completing
- the upgrade with a better cd drive, the problem has disapeared.
-
- This might or might not be your problem.
