There was a bug in System 5.0 and asynchronous sound play. It didn't. Hypercard 1.0.1 had asynchronous sound play, but that was because Bill wrote it himself & didn't use the operating system. I suspect that you are not using Hypercard 1.2 (let alone 1.2.1), which hasn't given me any problems with System 6.0 & asynchronous sound play. While I haven't tried 1.0.1 (or 1.1, for that matter) with System 6.0, it is a somewhat reasonable guess that there may be an incompatibility problem with older HyperCards, later systems, and asynchronous sound play (which all playing of sounds in Hypercard is -- asynchronous that is). Someone from Apple would be in a better position to verify this for certain, but... Make sure you are using the latest HyperCard.
