I never think of this but...
I just installed Squeak in a number of OS/2 boxes for new people to try out Squeak at my site. Unfortunately, our boxes are either without sound card or the sound card does not work under OS/2 (our boxes are originally configured for NT).
Anyway, when we tried "play with me - 4" with the BookMorph ('Back to the Future'), when we hit the 'next' key, debugger comes up complaining primitive 170 failed. So one user who happens to know a bit of Smalltalk commented out SoundPlayer class>>primSoundStartBufferSize:rate:stereo: and restart the process. And then another debugger came up complaining primitive 173 failed and when she finally decided to close the debugger, the system completely hanged and she has to reboot the system.
Now I put a temp fix in AbstractSound >> play to disable any sound to play and it seems to work fine.

Open the root menu at the Squeak desktop, select "help...", select "turn sound off", save image.
Or you can open the "help..." menu, select "edit preferences..." - which opens an inspector on Preferences, select "disableSounds" - which will be false - change to true and accept, save image.
