Greetings all,

Need help getting soundDevice & soundLevel to work in a projector.  D8,
win98 2E, DX7, QT3, SB Live sound card, developing cross platform.

Here's a snippet:

on prepareMovie
  -- set the preferred sound device
  if the soundDeviceList contains "DirectSound" then
    the soundDevice = "DirectSound"
  else
    if the soundDeviceList contains "QT3Mix" then
      the soundDevice = "QT3Mix"
    end if
  end if
  set the soundLevel = 4
  alert "soundDevice:" && the soundDevice && ",soundLevel:" && the soundLevel


The soundDevice works in authoring mode.  Alert result is "soundDevice:
DirectSound, soundLevel: 4", but the "Wav/DirectSound" level in my (SB
Live) mixer is not set to 4 (or changed in any way).

When I run the projector, the alert statement reports the soundDevice as
"MacroMix", and the soundLevel as "7".  The mixer's Wave/DirectSound level
is changed, but not to max volume.  Get this, even though I have a "set the
soundLevel = 4" statement in the "stopMovie" handler, the Wave/DirectSound
level in my mixer is set to max volume when the projector exits!

What's up?  I'm not a newbie, and I have researched these functions
extensively.  They just don't do what they're supposed to!

TIA
