Greetings, folks! Ruby just started requiring an osax call before a sound would play. In the following example script, the sound will not play without the prior "osax.say" call. It is part of scripts that ran fine for years, and still run fine, except now no sound is played (to let me know the script has finished). Thoughts? Thanks!!
