Not using the internal speakers, no. You could always use some powered speakers from the 3.5" audio out jack. JB

Is there ANY other way to get it to work than replacing the caps?

As far as I know Macs never got the 9700 and the ones flashed were flashed with modded 9800 ROMs. Macs did get the 9600 but it did not go well with OS 9 either.

bad caps can cause audio problems, course so could a blown in a perfect way speaker

Ok so I got my Mac Classic today and everything works on it (thank gosh) except for the speakers. You can barely hear them but you'd have to cram your head in the screen to hear it…

The video card arrived today. It turns out to be a PrecisionColor Pro 24XK. http://lowendmac.com/video/radiuspro24xk.html It's not bad, not the fastest nubus accelerator or the h…

which Apple already did with Mac OS X Click to expand... You know that´s not true Keith Stattenfield and his team did a lot of work at OS 9 already, until Steve Jobs forced …

I don't know if it is "properly" supported, but it works for me. All resolutions and color depths are available, and 2D seems pretty fast. I don't run 3D games, so I can't say whet…

Do the ATI OS 9 drivers properly support the 9700? I thought the 9200 (RV250) was the last card officially supported by ATI for OS 9, but I would be delighted to be wrong. Click…

I am seeing more and more barebones LCDs on eBay that include the D/A board (the expensive part.) Many are 640x480. You'd have to build your own enclosure for it. They're also a…

The datasheet says that the 88920 is for slower 20 - 25 MHz operating frequencies. And that the 88916 isn't suited for the slower speeds. Click to expand... Just curious - wh…

I disagree. You don't need to constantly upgrade a machine to have a longer useful lifespan Click to expand... well the examples you gave for what is still working for you is a…

Ok so far no big losses. I guess I'll stick with my SE/30.

I would not switch to a Mac mini:- slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non-u…

Magaroids will only work on a Mac 512KE and earlier. It won't even work on a Plus. I think that Arkanoid won't work on anything later than an SE (maybe a Classic).

Just as the opposite example. Missile Command is a game written in 1984 for the Mac 128k and System 1.0. It also runs on the latest Power Mac G3 system with OS 9.2.2.

I know for a fact Dinosaur Discovery Kit (from First Byte) doesn't work on SE/30s. This was explicitly stated in the third edition of the Macintosh Bible. (It supposedly only works…

Probably anything that didn't follow Apple's programming guidelines and made undocumented Toolbox calls and the like.

This may sound like a dumb question, but are there any classic Mac games that will run a 68000 Mac but not on the 68030 SE/30? I know the Atari Falcon (a 68030 machine) had all ki…

Yep, you're right - no matter what you do, Mac OS 9 and below simply cannot address any more than 1.5GB of RAM, its a limitation built into the OS, and short of rewriting the Mac O…

I checked the fit of all the socketed items and they're all as tight as they can be. The RAM looks brand new and is also in tightly. I guess it's the capacitors then. I have an …
