I just got a new G5 and installed Classic. Now I
can't get any audio from any Classic apps or from the
OS itself.
I think we've identified the source of your problem... assuming that you mean that you can't get sound out of OS X.
I noticed I don't even have a "sound"
control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange?
No. You should have a few sound-related items in the Extensions folder (Sound Manager, SoundSprocket Filter, Speakable Items, Speech Manager, Speech Recognition, perhaps a few others) but there needn't be any sound-related control panels.
I
seem to remember having one when I used this same
setup with my G4. Do I need to download any drivers
for my soundcard? What if I just want the sound out
of the computer output? Any help is great!
I had other sound stuff in my System Folder left over from the days when that System Folder was on a beige G3. The absence of those items doesn't seem to matter to my iMac G5. When I set up the iMac G5 I generated a completely new System Folder instead of just copying over the old one. What's in that folder now is what Apple thinks should be there to run Classic, plus the items MSIE drops into the System Folder because I did a test run of MSIE for Classic just to see if it still worked. (It does)
