Sound under OS 10.4.11 and 10.7.2
There is a change with
UnIX version concerning these two platforms. I own a Power G4 Mac with OS 10.4.11 and a Mac Book Pro with Lion OS 10.7.2. There are some problems of compatibilities between the two UNIX versions.
Under OS 10.4.11, these three UNIX commands work, in order to produce sounds, even emitting a simple beep.
1) echo ^G (you need to type Ctrl-V Ctrl-G under /bin/tcsh to produce a bip).
2) osascript -e "beep"
3) qtplay /Users/stephane/Library/Audio/Sounds/Alerts/bigben.mp3
All of them work under OS 10.4.11, but unfortunately, none of them work under OS 10.7.2 !!
Is there a solution, even an explanation ?
Thanks
