My kernel is config'ed with the snd resource, but I can find NO information about if I need this to run "normal" Mac programs or even what it's really there for... /FILES mentions something about a "reset" file for snd, but it's not on my Mac under /dev/snd (I 1st thought it might be a way to... reset the Sound Manager [stop all sound, then restart it again]) but since I don't have it... well... Anyway, is there anyway to stop this tone short of a reboot? (changing the sound CDEV makes no impact at all)?? Will I be missing a lot if I reconfig without snd? I have Stuffit 1.6 beta (with the fun Virus checker) and whenever it detects "funny" stuff, the Notification Manager pops up and the tone begins... Oh yeah, I'm using a MacII with the Daystar 50 PowerCard installed, if it makes any difference...
