Software Automated Mouth (S.A.M.) not working :(

Hi everyone, I've finally got my Apple ii clone working after much trouble. I'm now running a ROMX :)

I'm trying to get SAM (S.A.M. Software Automated Mouth) to work but I never hear any audio.

I type RUN S.A.M. and select either DEMO, SPEECHES or SAYIT but no sound.

I connect my logic probe to the CLOCK pin11 of the 74LS273 (Octal D flip-flop) to see if its being triggered and I get nothing.

If I jump to monitor and type "C0C0 0" I hear a click from the speaker and my logic probe fires off with a breif logic low. Note S.A.M. is in slot4

Would anyone have any idea why it wouldn't be working? Could it be the ROMX? I've tried each of the images contained in the ROMX, the default being APPLESOFT BASIC and none of them work.

Thanks in advance.

Does the version of S.A.M.

Does the version of S.A.M. using the internal speaker work on your clone?

"I think there were two versions of the software.

One version didn't require additional hardware, and one version required the mentioned card with a speaker."
