	We had the same problem with HARDBALL.  The music starts as the first
screen disolves, but there is NO sound throughout the rest of the game.  Some
one in our group talked with someone at apple and was told that some of the
games used some internal fudging that is no longer supported but I'm sure the
net would like a better explanation than this, and so would we.  After all, this
was a second-hand heresay explanation that was not understood.  Does anyone know
the facts?
	By the way, the sounds are available in the folder and can be played
using SoundMaster, so the SE/30 IS capable of producing these sounds.
