TREO 600 Sound

My sound turns off after about two alien challenges on level 1. I just bought and downloaded the program today. Is this a bug with the treo 600?

Hi Casper,

Could I possibly just double check which version of Zap!2000/2016 you have? There are two classes of sound effect which we normally describe as "enhanced sound" (proper sound effects) and "non-enhanced" (also known as "piezo", or in some circles "beepy beepy" :) ).

There is a known peculiarity of the Treo 600 which seems to cause it to stop playing piezo based sound effects after a while, with them only returning after a soft reset, but the enhanced sound effects should continue to work just fine.

The reason I ask about which version you have is that version 1.6 and lower only support non-enhanced sounds on the Treo 600, whereas the later versions play the enhanced sound.
Just in case, you can download the latest version from our website here:

Let me know if that helps at all, if not we can look into other possible causes!

Warmest regards,
