| 944.1 | try unmute-it extension | CSC32::M_BELLOR | What are you looking at! | Sat Jan 25 1997 11:17 | 13 |

When ever something is plugged into the external sound jack,
the internal speaker is muted automatically. There is a couple
of extensions that will unmute the internal speaker at boot up.
One is called unmute-it, the other is Unmute Extension, or they
may be the same extension? There have been reports on some systems
when you have unmuted the internal speaker for the 4th or 5th
time that the sound preference file gets corrupted and the system
will crash. This has been reported on PCC Power systems, I don't
know about powermacs though. Give this a try.

| Well, this seems like a related enough topic...
What are the various different sound-out capabilities of different
Mac models?
I have a 7100, which I had always assumed simply had a normal stereo
mini-headphone jack for the sound-out. (Consulting the manual I see
that the assumption was correct.)
Here is the application: I plan to borrow someone's PowerBook to
provide a special sound for a theatrical performance; the Mac sound
file that I have is mono and is to be connected to one channel of
the production audio system.
This particular PowerBook is in the shop, but is expected to be back
in time for the performance (although not in time for the Sitzprobe,
and I may need to borrow something for that, which wouldn't have to
be hooked up to anything other than the percussionist's finger).
I've been told by someone of unknown breadth of knowledge that the audio
out jacks on PowerBooks are a special sort of jack. Is this true across
the range, or do newer PowerBooks have a regular mini-headphone jack?
(Someone happened to have a Duo last night which we discovered seems to
have no sound out at all!)

| 944.4 | Duos I know about - 190's I'm not sure | AOSG::BHARRIS | Juggling has its ups and downs | Tue Mar 04 1997 11:43 | 20 |
| Duos have limited on the road "Outs" of any kind, but thats one of the
things that kept them light. Power, Printer/AppleTalk port, Phone
port. period! Plug them into a Docking station and then you have all
the rest of the standard output ports.
A Duo when plugged into an Apple Duo Mini-Dock has a standard Stereo
mini-headphone jack.
As for PowerBook 190's I do not know.

As for special jacks. I know that some of the Microphone jacks were
special (they had a longer shaft), but I never heard of a special jack
for the sound out (excluding AV models which had _INADDITION_ to the
standard audio out mini-jack, they also had RCA left and right channel
connectors, and similar RCA as well as S-Video connectors for the video
signals).
