For all of you whose music doesn't work

I have the solution! Go to START, Settings, Control Panel, Multimedia. The Audio tab should already be up. Look at playback and preferred device. Select (Use any available device). Also, click the CD Music tab and select the drive you play the CD in and check Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device. That should clear up any problems with music! Tell me if this doesn't work though. But, it should.

I've been curious about this advise. This isn't the only time I've see it posted. I believe lots of folks have sound issues that this advise won't fix. For example, my own install behaves this way:

 

Game music -- plays just fine in startup movie, and in selection windows. Game music does play in the game or while watching a recorded game.

 

In the game Options window I can make the game either NOT play music OR play music, but cannot adjust the volume.

 

When I follow the directions provided in your post and some others, (START, Settings, Control Panel, Multimedia, CD music tab), the check box you speak of is greyed out ! So I can't affect my setup in this way! Hmmmm....

 

This is why I believe music not playing in game, or game freeze on startup, or crash to desktop, are often driver issues. The magic check box should be looked at, but an unlucky few have bigger problems.

 

For the record, my relevant system specs are:

 

Athlon 1ghz

256 mg ram

20g hard drive

KT133A chipset (via), Abit KT7A

DVD drive, pioneer (IDE channel 2)

VooDoo 5500 PCI

SB 512 PCI (elderly driver, not lastest)

I'd love to see what the IRQs, System Properties tab looked like for that! Musta been one confused puppy! My system would never work if I had that going on.... (KT133A boards suck...).
