Video Cards, Monitors & Displays / Re: OS9 and display size
« Last post by Bolkonskij on Today at 04:46:33 AM »
Interesting poll!

Pretty sure I'm at the low-end (any Clamshell users out there? :D)

Running OS 9 on my Mini at 1024x768 on my Samsung SyncMaster. I find no use in using broader displays with OS 9, as my workflows usually including scrolling top-down (e.g. a word document, a website) rather than left-right, so the old SyncMaster still gets the job done. I'd need more height, rather than more width :-)

This question intrigued me all the time, so I decided to run a poll. Spill the beans, guys  :)

- display calibration

LOL. I think I'm the only one here who does it on a regular basis.
(…)
All the tutorials will be "für die Katz".
I have an Quato/X-rite around (selected to be able to calibrate all Mac OS 9/10.4.11/Linux computers I have contact with). Sadly I never found time to get into this entire calibration/colour management field. But the Eizo FlexScan SX2461W and especially my LaCie Electron 22 Blue IV are waiting for a calibrated future that will come one day. So be sure I highly appreciate your postings and nothing is "für die Katz"! ;)

Well to be fair, os9 as daily driver in 2024 isnt really an option

We would profit if we enter a mindset where its just a hobby rather
Than for professional use
I also have to strongly disagree! My 9-machines are still my main computers, and wouldn´t we have this ugly TLS-situation I would never boot into Linux at all.

So, no; "hobby" is the opposite of what I use Mac OS 9 for, and I would apreciate if people would benevolently respect that there are still others around who do not do any hobby or retro or just-for-fun with Mac OS 9. Of course I know that my situation (no smartphones around, no interrest in any "social"-media at all, etc.) is very special, and a small minority is acting like me. But we are in existance, and we have very good reasons.

Mac OS 9 on Unsupported Hardware / Re: Mac OS 9 booting on: Mac mini G4

Regrettably, I don’t currently have one of these connected and haven’t the time at present to do so. However, some suggestions:

(1). Simply the change / swap the USB port that you currently have it connected to. (Odd as this may sound, it has worked for me in the past.)

(2). Remove it from the mini completely and zap the PRAM and rebuild the desktop of your OS 9 install.

(3). Then try, try again - booting first with UCA202 disconnected and then plugging it in to the USB port AFTER booting, OR…

(4). After PRAM zap and desktop rebuild, connect it and then reboot. Any difference?

AND, if you’re not getting any sound to headphones via the UCA202’s headphone jack (with no speakers connected) then you might have a bad unit. Test this first, perhaps before any of the above.

ALSO, I don’t recall being able to set volume via the sound control panel before (but this is relying upon my foggy memory from several years ago). AND the powered speakers that I did use had an inline volume control knob where I rather simply adjusted the volume.

There’s also always the possibility that you’ve an extension conflict, if ALL extensions are ON.

And hopefully you’re not using any sort of USB hub?

Okay, update.

After an hour digging around here, I found a UF0202 and attached it. No, it does not show up in the Sound control panel and it is therefore not level adjustable (there). However it does play desktop Platinum sounds from clicks, etc. And with headphones attached - the sound level, is adjustable through / to the headphones via the volume dial on the unit. THEN popped in a music CD and via iTunes, music played and individual tracks were selectable.

NOTE: in order for your UCA202 to appear in the Sound Control panel (as I believe the M-Audio Transit also requires) you may need to download and install the “ASIO 4ALL USB Audio Driver” from the Behringer website.

Good luck. ;)

You’ve tried headphones alone connected & the volume ctrl?

Actually a powered external speaker set. The issue is that I cannot change the volume in the Control Panel. It's at zero and will not move. When I try to adjust the volume, the menu bar blinks just like it does when you select Mute. It just isn't recognizing that there is an additional sound device on it. All of the extensions appear to be turned on, so I just am not certain what is going on. Going to try to get some screen shots tomorrow from the System Profiler, which does show the device.

Did you get the 13 page manual with your UCA202?
If so, then you might note on page 8 the use of the
Behringer TRUTH B2031A (powered) speakers?

I have the Behringer UCA202 in my Amazon cart now, I think I'll pick that one up.

OK, so I got that, plugged it in, turned on the Mini. No sound once it is booted up. I cannot change the volume level from the Sound Control Panel. I guess I'll be digging through that section on audio you linked a bit more. No idea what I'm missing at this point. An no, it does not come up as an option for audio output/input. Or does anyone have any ideas for me to check out?

some things are listed because they are essential, others are optional, and then there are things which i only included because somebody wrote such a post already. :)

btw, often the überspecialist for topic XYZ himself is not the best candidate to write a good, short but complete explanation for newbies and the general public.

so everyone who is good in writing structured texts is asked to join and write something - you do not need to be the hacker, theorist or user who knows about things yourself, rather you can do it together with such a person..

an article about calibration for eaxmple would start with explaining what it is, when a software is mentioned the software should indirectly be linked, i personally would enjoy if we can agree upon a fixed picture size and so on.

several of our topics do include assumptions or open questions because the things are a work in progress, that should also be correctly reflected.
