Can SmartSound be added to PD19?

I installed PD 19 several months ago and had access to the SmartSound plugin, probably because it came with the older version of PD I had installed (PD 9). Now I've installed PD 19 on a new computer and I cannot access SS anymore. I know it isn't supported in PD anymore, but I really need it because if I open a project that contains smartsound clips, PD ignores them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I do not have PD19 but I imagine it would still work.
You need to go to SmartSound support and download/install the components.

If Barry's suggestion doesn't work, you can install PD9 to get the original SmartSound functionality back. Either way, PD19 will be let you access it from the Plugins menu:
