So I tried installing the latest version of QB64pe and still no sounds! What gives?

I'm not familiar with MAC so this may or may not help.

Did your MAC have a recent update? if so is there a mechanism in a MAC to restore to a previous point like Windows does with restore points? Or uninstall the latest update if possible?

Thanks, Terry. Well, the Mrs. says my computer came on by itself late last night, so maybe an auto-update screwed my system. Arg. Reverting to an older version of MacOS is a royal pain. This could be trouble. Are there any other Mac users out there with insights on this? Thanks. I'm on Ventura 13.5.2.

I am on Ventura 13.5.2 too and the sound works just fine.

From the QB64-PE menu, click Debug > Purge C++ Libraries and then compile and try again.

Also, ensure you have installed QB64-PE 3.8.0 to a new directory and not overwriting the files over a previous installation.

Thanks vm, a740g! I will try that asap! Fingers crossed...

Might want to try a simple program creating sound with QB64 v2.1 (the "official" one). Because the libraries to produce sound were changed in Phoenix Edition, to support more audio formats like the ancient tracker modules, and like QOA for the upcoming v3.9.

This is a strange problem. Might want to try with another language product. I don't know if QB64 on Macintosh still requires X-Code, might want to run a quick example of audio with that other programming system.

Somewhere in Freebasic forums I read that audio could be generated with `/dev/dsp` device. Does MacOS do a similar thing? It might have been blocked for QB64PE because MacOS must have decided it's not a reliable application, nor the user programs created with it.  -_O_-
