Issues with some Living Books games & SheepShaver (no audio)

So, I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.9.5. I'm running Mac OS 7.5.5 in SheepShaver (Version 2.4.20140201). I've got almost all the Living Books games running in it. Almost all of them run perfectly ok. There are 4 that don't play any sound at all though:

My own copy of Stellaluna
My own copy of The Berenstain Bears in the Dark

http://macintoshgarden.org/games/little-monster-at-school

These 4 games have a folder of Mac extensions (Sound Manager 3.1, QuickTime 2.1 & Thread Manager 2.0.1). The System folder already has newer versions of those extensions installed. Can't figure out why sound won't play at all with these games. Is this a known issue?

Hi, haven't tried these, but it says there are issues on both pages of the MG links you gave.

Green Eggs & Ham - "Played fine in Basilisk - no sound in SheepShaver"

and for Little Monster, the Sheepshaver sound issue is discussed in the user comments below the game's description area.

Seems like sound in these games may work better using Basilisk II than Sheep on Mac OS hosts.

There is an issue within Sheep that forces me to select an output device everytime Sheep boots up.
I placed a Sound Control Panel alias in the Startup folder.
