Sacha URL: http://www.syndrome3d.com/dev/ This KEXT (kernel extension) for MacOS 10.2 fixes problems with the handling of sound on the Apple G4 cube when the external USB speakers are not connected (since the Cube does not have a built in sound device). The extension runs under MacOS 10.2.x, and will create a virtual output audio device and engine which can be selected in the sound control panel. This extension will run on any model of hardware, and may prove useful for any model without a built in sound device. VirtualSpeaker should fix the issues related to the lack of a sound output device which have been noted in iMovie, DVD Studio Pro, and other applications (including video capture errors, automatic quit when launching some games and applications which require an audio output device, crashes when previewing DVD projects, and other random misfortunes). This 1.2.1 version corrects an issue with VirtualSpeaker that was preventing the fix from working for games (and applications) which use the Carbon SoundManager (the fIsMixable bit was set incorrectly for the 16 bit virtual audio format).
