Call me stupid (STUPID!), but neither I nor any of my local Amigans have or have ever heard of AUDIO.DEVICE. Is it part of 3.1 or something? A friend of mine has a 1200, and he doesn't seem to have it either. What did I miss? –Andre in Riverside

Never heard of it.

If you can play any sounds with your Amiga, then you have the audio.device, just not as a file in DEVS:

So what you're saying is that it is another built-in function, in essence a function of the firmware?

Yep, reckon so.

It's in the ROM.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try. Amizing what you can learn from fellow Amigans :-{)

I'm curious as to why you were wondering about it. Is some program telling you it can't open it? If so, either some other program is using it and refuses to give it up, or maybe you're trying to run a program for a newer OS than you have.

I recently picked up a copy of some programs that specifically call for AUDIO.DEVICE, namely programs that record and/or playback normal audio CDs through the Amiga's speakers. But, I have since found out that it only works reliably if you have a SCSI-2 interface for your CD-ROM drive, and I'm using a 2091 SCSI-1 card. Oh, well, better luck next time, I guess. I guess I need to upgrade my 2000.
