This is some information that I found and put into note form (hope it helps):

· Music was often played during the chorus' delivery of its lines.

· most believe music was integral-most dialog was recitative

· a singe Flute

· sometimes a lute

· The aulos, consisting of a pair of cylindrical pipes with double reed mouthpieces.

· The cithara (kithára) is the wooden type of the Greek lyre, especially the large concert instruments.

· probably resembled oriental quarter tones

· This facade was always the same according to the play: in tragedy an official building was shown, usually a palace or temple; in comedy smaller, rural buildings tended to be used; in satyric drama, the scenery required a cave entrance.

· there were various sound effects used, such as metallic containers full of water to increase the volume of the speeches, and pebbles were shaken around in bronze jars to sound like thunder. The technicians who wielded these vessels would either stand behind the scenery or along the sides of the platform, in the side-wings.

Very little sound effects were used in Ancient Roman theater. What little sound effects there were were made by the actors, such as a stamping for a knock. If you mean as in sound amplification, the actors just needed to have good, strong voices that could carry well.
