Here's a fun one..
(and probably noone will know the answer).. *sigh*

Never seen this before.. I was trying to look at a flashmovie site, probably one made with the
absolute latest version so it wasn't compatible, and while nothing happened just then, one of my
other programs quit-crashed later (just a type 2 crash), and then when I went to restart, the
system stopped booting at "Apple Audio Extension".
So after removing it with extensions off, the machine did startup, and I even replaced the extension
and sound preferences with a backup, so then it starts up fine... but now the audio logic is
reversed!! ...The speakers only work when a headphone jack is plugged in, and I get no sound
when it's unplugged! :<

I don't know if it's a ROM problem, or something I can fix with enough software tweaking, so before
I head online to search endless FAQlists, I was hoping purrhaps someone here might have a clue...

Much appreciated.. *wingscritches headfeathers*

No clue. That's the weirdest error I've heard of.

never heard of that. o.o What OS are you running right now? I can prolly check with the Mac Geniuses I work with, see if they have a solution.

Hey, that'd be keen ^v^

The folkses I already spoke with are mostly stumped (so don' worry if they will be too), but if they could help, that'd be more'n appreciated :>
It may be a system-independent problem, like the logic board going wonky again, or a flash-rom issue... but any ole way, I usually run Classic 9.2.2 on this system. It was 9.1 before I sent it in to get the logic board replaced before, but they upgraded my OS (I assume so they could check Classic under a Panther network-bootup perhaps). I run X on my other machine, but I like to keep older systems connected with the OS of their era, and this machine runs fine and fast and without having to get a bunch of new programs for it with 9.
Take Care! *wags*

Additonal Info Discovered

I recently had to go to 64meg ram and virtual memory, to test avoiding some crashes. It's such a drag and slowwww.... so to improve redraw speed, I also went back to thousands from millions of colors, and 800x600 instead of 1024x768. It does help... though bleah.. ;P

Anyways... this recently revealed another anomaly in the Sound Logic and Video situation, as they seem related... because when I plugged in the headphones (to get some audio out of the speakers), the system went back to the previous video settings! eeeeesh! (and of course when removing the plug, it toggles back to the former adjusted settings).

this sux.

This only happened the first couple times... after that it stopped toggling back to millions/1028. Le funky.
