Real Audio doesn't work for me either, on my Performa 6205. Is your Mac a
Performa with a 603 processor? There is some discussion on the "Performa
Problem Page" of the web - www.jganson.com maybe? - about a serial port
problem. (Sorry I forget the exact web address.) I haven't followed all
the technical discussion about "hardware handshaking" etc. but there are
some knowledgable folks out there looking into it. I'm hoping some fixes
will be forthcoming.

The Real Audio Player alone doesn't guarantee that you'll get 28.8
streams.  The sounds transmitted to your Mac need to be 28.8 streams.  
Since so many people still have 14.4, a great many RA files on the 'Net
are still the 14.4 variety.  Go to http://www.realaudio.com and look
around for sample RA sounds; you'll find some that are specifically
identified as 28.8 streams.

It may be entirely normal that Ben can't get the 28.8, because it apparently has to do with the 
type of Mac and its processor speed also. Apple has some RealAudio at their web site from a 
developer's conference that is available in both 14.4 and 28.8. My Power Mac can take the 28.8 
stream, but my 68K Mac can only handle the 14.4, even though both have 28.8 modems.

Well Ben,

It could be any number of things.....
What init string are you using for your modem? What configuration have you set
for the RealAudio player? Are you reading RealAudio files that are formatted for
28.8? Are you getting any sound at all?

When asking for help, system and software configuration, your current
configuration,
is needed for anyone to be of any kind of assistance to you.

John,

I have the same problem, even though I have a 28.8 Supra Express modem
(external). 

I am by no means an expert, but I'm using a PowerBook Duo 230, which is a
68030 Mac, and something I read in the RealAudio docs (don't currently
have the leisure to track it down) indicated that it isn't possible to get
28.8 RealAudio files unless you have at least a 68040 Mac. 

I can, however, get the 14.4 audios most of the time, though the quality
varies quite a bit -- unfortunately, all the good and interesting-sounding
stuff is 28.8! 

LaVerne

If you have a powermac or a 68040 WITH an FPU you can receive the 28.8
only feeds by changing the setting in real audio prefs to 28.8. the
important part is you must have a 68040 with an FPU.
