Here's the reason and a fix or two:

System 6.0.7 includeds the System 7.0 Sound Manager, which HyperCard 1.x cannot
deal with.  You can fix this a couple ways:

	1. Reinstall 6.0.5 as you mentioned; 6.0.5 uses the old Sound Manager.
	2. Upgrade to HyperCard 2.0v2.
	3. Or, if you really want to use HyperCard 1.x with System 6.0.7,
	   put the following two scripts in your home stack:

	   on play param
	   end play

	   on beep
	   end beep

	   Then set the speaker volume to zero before you launch HC 1.2.5.
