Metallus Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Hey sorry to sound like a jerk, but this section doesn't cover technical issues. Read the category description more closely . Snuckey's will be coming out with a guide to getting the sound to work, so the most I can say now is be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallus Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 It's no biggie; we just can't deal with that problem because every windows user has that problem at one time or another. We're trying to save ourselves some sanity, rather than trying to answer it every time someone asks it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Yeah hehe we were all secretly betting against ourselves over how long it would take for the "My sound is broken" thread to appear here Snuckey's is working on a "tutorial"/troubleshooting guide to getting your sound working. Hopefully it will be up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogfuchow Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 it's one of those obvious problems that so many people have.. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Wow... you guys are a bunch of assholes... Shut down the IMUSE set up from Windows into true DOS mode... then set it up correctly from there... Sam and Max should then work in Windows... unless you have sporatic mouse problems like me... if you have an Windows OS after 98, you are screwed.

Metallus Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 No, I think I'd rather weep openly some more, since I have WinME and my music won't work. My sound's fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Heh. I'm not an asshole, I just don't know how to fix the sound And can you really get "true" DOS mode without a dual install of Win98 and DOS 6.2? I've never got the sound to work on my PC even booting into as close as "true" dos mode as I can get. Maybe if you successfully have the SET BLASTER=blah blah in your DOS mode config.sys it will work out for you. Perhaps Windows will set that up for you and I'm a fool?

Schmatz Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Gerbil you gotta cool it pal. All you do is insult us or call us Assholes. Why don't you just shut up and listen. It will be on Snuckey's. I am patient. My sound doesn't work. But I don't care right now. I'm probably gonna get a new CD version, because, well, don't ask. I just have no sound, and I need to get it soon. So, if they ask you to be patient, be patient and don't call anyone an asshole, or you'd be a hypocrit if you get my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogfuchow Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 hmmm, if that tutorial will help me with making Sam and Max work on my WinME, I'll be damn happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntheticGerbil Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Er... sarcasm and such and so on... Schmatz, that was directed at the ones who told this technically frustrated game player that his post didn't belong here and ignoring his question. I wasn't completely serious anyway... I'm not going to find Jake and Fuchow's address and write them a really nasty letter about their mothers. Besides, you weren't even in this thread until now. And... I think that setblaster thing might not be required if you shut down to DOS. Just be sure to enter in the CD drivers and memory drivers in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys. If the program still crashes, take a walk and pet a kitten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I wish LEC would just put out a patch. I'm sure they've had at least one summer intern in the last few years who has an interest in programming and the old games enough to make a quick update to scumm. Hopefully ScummVM will be able to run Sam & Max eventually. Apparently it can run DOTT perfectly or near perfectly right now (um, minus the sound, that is ).

The Dogfuchow Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 heh I said nothing about the post not belonging here, I just knew someone would do it, though... it specifically said in the forum description that help would most likely not be given to the question. Who knows, either way, I'm still waiting for that tutorial, and I'll still be lazy then... really though, if there is a way to get Sam and Max working with sound and music on WinME, that'd be so-weet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Sorry Gerbil, This afternoon I was in a rampage mood, and had a buncha crappy posts. No offense in any way. I didn't think you were calling me an asshole anyways . But, the question used to come up a lot elsewhere, and most of the posters here are kinda sick of hearing it. I don't know, just my opinion. By the way, I gotta try your idea, cause I can't get my sound working heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 The forum description merely asks you to weep, it doesn't ask you to not inquire about broken sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogfuchow Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 No, I think I'd rather weep openly some more, since I have WinME and my music won't work. My sound's fine though. hmmm, I dunno, Sean, Met's got the sound working (without music, though, which is balls....)... when I was configuring it on my windows 98 comp, at first only the music would work... blah, if only I could remember how I did it on my old comp.. --yes!!!!! playing Sam and Max on my old comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 Yeah, my MIDI is not working at all on my DOS games, Fuchow. Perhaps if I post the steps I took to get my audio working, the MIDI will work as well for most computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjoyce Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Not that I want to break this topic in half, but it is your 666th posts, Metallus I have WinME, and my Sam and Max, my MI1-2-3-4 is(are) working, also my DOTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if I post the steps I took to get my audio working, the MIDI will work as well for most computers. amazingly preferrable.. I tested the Win 98 thing that Jake posted up, to see if it may work on WinME, the setmuse file worked and the configuring was fine, but when actually playing the game, it, as usual, said sound drivers were ****.
