Sound problems with MOL on an OldWorld G3

[Jose Medeiros]

Sounds like you have a hardware problem. I also have an older
Macintosh " Biege g3 300 mhz " and it works fine with Mac Os 10.3 ands
10.4, however I used Xpostfacto to intsall it.

You also failed to mention if the sound card is working under OS 9,
does it work correctly with OS 9?

Jose :-)
