Summary:  The Sound Manager 3.2 software

Available since the introduction of the Macintosh 
II in 1987, the Sound Manager is Apple's digital 
audio software solution that allows any application 
to play and record sounds using the built-in sound 
hardware found on Macintosh computers. Sound Manager 
3.0, released in 1993, added support for 16-bit 
CD-quality audio, redirection of sound to third-party 
hardware cards, and plug-in audio compression/
decompression software (codecs).

Sound Manager 3.1 added two new audio codecs,  
significant performance increases on the Power 
Macintosh line of computers, and asynchronous 
alert sounds. It is completely backwards compatible 
with previous versions of the Sound Manager.
