TOPIC

    On a computer with Mac OS 8.6 and QuickTime 4 beta if you change the Date and Time control panel to reflect the year 2000, alert sounds are muted.


DISCUSSION

    Note: This is NOT a Y2K bug.

    The issue is caused by a beta version of the Sound Manager extension. This extension is installed with QuickTime 4 beta software. In the year 2000, this extension (and other QuickTime beta software) will expire. Upon restart, the computer will display the message:

    "The Sound Manager Extension has expired.", meaning the beta version of the Sound Manager extension has expired.

    QuickTime 4 beta software was made available until early June, 1999, and is no longer available.

    To resolve this issue, install QuickTime 4 (final version). QuickTime 4 is available at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
