- Hello everyone!
-
- I have been using Spectre for quite a while now without many problems. One
- problem I have been having is when I run spectre on a color monitor. I
- have my colors setup so it uses the extra colors to achieve a perceived
- 640x400 resolution on a 640x200 screen. It looks pretty nice, in my
- opinion, and I wouldn't mind using it at all.
-
- The problem is, when I run Spectre in color, the sound doesn't work! The
- initial startup sound (usually heard when you startup the mac) is flawless.
- I was amazed when I first used Spectre that the sound was so clear. But,
- when I get to the control panel and adjust the volume level (which probably
- does nothing, unless you set it to 0, except play the current digitized
- sound) the sound is played, but is extremely unclear. The next time I
- adjust the volume, the sound isn't played at all, instead I hear a crackling
- sound.
-
- I have never had any problems with the sound on my st before, at all. Sound
- in ST programs is flawless. And here is something interesting, I ran a
- mono emulator on my color monitor, ran spectre (spectre didn't seem to
- recognize mono was on, because I got a split screen!) anyway, the sound
- worked fine! Obviously I'm not going to use the mono emulator, since I
- don't want a split screen (try reading text like that!).
-
- Does anyone have any suggestions? (Perhaps a monochrome emulator that works
- under Spectre?) Thanks!
