MAE 2.0: 16 Bit Sound Not Supported (7/95)

I am unable to get 16 bit sound on my SPARCstation 5 with 16 bit sound support, Solaris 2.4, and MAE 2.0. My system supports 16 bit sound, as other UNIX applications can play 16 bit sounds on my internal speaker.

The Sound control panel appears to loads properly, and the sound out option is available. However, the 16 bit and Stereo option is grayed out.

Do you have any recommendations to resolve this? Also, is it possible to modify any of the UNIX files to allow MAE to properly recognize the sound capabilities of my workstation?
We tested with our SPARCstation 5 workstation's built-in speaker, and 16 bit sound does not seem to be compatible with MAE 2.0. The Sound control panel is grayed out.

According to Engineering, although Apple did not state MAE 2.0 supports 8 bit or 16 bit sound in our documentation, they did confirm that only 8 bit sound is supported. There is no 16 bit sound support under MAE 2.0.
