snd for 2.0

[Jim Jagielski]

Occasionally, (usually during Notifications) my Mac will start a relatively
loud "buzzing" sound that CANNOT be stopped without rebooting the machine.
My kernel is config'ed with the snd resource, but I can find NO information
about if I need this to run "normal" Mac programs or even what it's really
there for... /FILES mentions something about a "reset" file for snd, but it's
not on my Mac under /dev/snd (I 1st thought it might be a way to... reset
the Sound Manager [stop all sound, then restart it again]) but since I don't
have it... well...

Anyway, is there anyway to stop this tone short of a reboot? (changing the
sound CDEV makes no impact at all)?? Will I be missing a lot if I reconfig
without snd? I have Stuffit 1.6 beta (with the fun Virus checker) and whenever
it detects "funny" stuff, the Notification Manager pops up and the tone
begins...

Oh yeah, I'm using a MacII with the Daystar 50 PowerCard installed, if it makes
any difference...

Thanks!
