I think the culprit might be a problematic Quicktime install, but I'm not sure. Symptoms: 1) Upon boot, the speakers 'pop' a few times before going silent. Normal operation with power cord attached has been to have a constant hiss indicating that the audio is on. Upon shutdown, the hiss returns for a second or two with the shutdown screen before complete power-off. 2) Upon attempting to play a wav file the message "Windows cannot play xxx.wav. The file may be damaged or may use an unrecognized compression format. To resolve this problem, replace the file or use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to install Audio Compression" is displayed. 3) Upon attempting to play a .mp3 file through Sonique the message: "MMSYSTEM032 The specified format cannot be translated or supported. Use the Capabilities function to view supported formats." is displayed. Attempts: 1) thinking Quicktime is the problem, uninstalled (including file extensions) and reinstalled. 2) did as 2) suggested and removed then added Audio Compression. 3) tried looking at some of the MCI extension stuff in win.ini and system.ini with no success. 4) tried reinstalling the OPL3 driver. 5) tried reinstalling Sonique. Request: anything short of reinstalling W95 to fix this. (if needs be, I'll do that with a 20GB HD in the next while). 14hrs on the road far from good radio stations with hours of .mp3's on the seat beside you is near torture.
