It used to be, on my old OS X PPC machine running SM 2.0, if I got a

page with only a .wav file imbedded on the page).

FFWD to running modern SM on new OS X Intel machine.

Now, after several seconds, with a blank window, I get a pop up window
from Quicktime saying that additional software is required to play this
media would you like to visit Apple. blah blah.

Now that's obviously wrong, since, I can save the .wav to the desktop
and play it with Quicktime just fine.

Was this a security enhancement?  ("no more playing message attachments
in the browser").

I'm using the same profile from my old machine, so I don't think a
setting could be the issue.

Any ideas how to make it work like it used to?

None from my end of things. I see the same problem and suspect it's a
matter of the new QT plugin not supporting WAV format correctly, even
though the desktop application itself does. It's been a problem for a
while now. Annoying.


Thanks, Trane.
I did suspect it happened a while ago, I was just using 2.0 (on PPC) for sooooo long, that I didn't see the issue until I jumped straight into 2.23. I shoulda bought a used quad-core G5 liquid cooled PowerMac and stayed with 2.0 instead of a new iMac!
