Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 A little more information would be appreciated. The nature of the error and what kind of Intel Mac it is, for example. I just checked, and it runs just fine on my MacBook Pro. Perhaps it was a corrupted download. Your friend might want to try downloading it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Sound-related errors can usually be cured by opening a copy of GarageBand. Really. Try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 This is covered on the above referenced page: Quote: "Unable to open sound channels" Error If you get the error "Unable to open sound channels" when you launch the game, carry out these steps to fix the problem: i. Open the Applications folder. ii. Open the Utilities folder. iii. In this folder, run "Audio MIDI Setup" iv. Under Audio Output, change the Format to 44100.0 Hz. This should correct the problem. If this does not work, let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
