yes (This could this have anything to do with it) But most modern machines work fine.
note: The installed directSound version must be 'Director-useful' in order for Director to default to it (which is why NT always fails - it doesn't support useful directSound). Perhaps that machine/OS has a version of directSound that is causing Director to default to Macromix. perhaps you could try this in your project's startMovie handler if the soundDevice = "Macromix" then the soundDevice = "QT3Mix" hth -Buzz At 11:33 PM +0200 8/16/02, you wrote: >hmmm - the plot thickens.
