Full screen but no sound.. :(

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 15:27

I followed the instructions in the readme's, using XP. Installed it etc etc
I searched the forum and found nothing.

Now, it says that if you experiance problems with windowed mode OR no sound, then change the compatibility mode. I have BOTH problems, and it only fixed the windowed mode problem. I still have no sound.

I can't remember what mirror i used to download TTD so if you want to you can show me you're mirror and ill use that install. Then follow you're instructions. (So you are sure its not the game itself)

If you need any more info then please ask and i'll give you a full report...

I really wanna play this classic again!

Hi, can you try out the different sound options in the ttconfig program, this is a program in your gamegfx map

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 16:39

oh yes i did, but i think they have no effect because when i click play, it says it needs the disc. When i click the xp patch i get in the game full screen but with no sound.

Only save the settings. "Run" will try to run the unpatched TTD, which isn't able to run without the patch. Start the patch manually instead.

Don't click play, choose general midi, then choose apply, now run the ttdpatchw.exe program

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 16:48

Also tried that, after that failed i posted here.

Have you tried this: http://www.ttdpatch.net/dxmci.zip
Unzip it in your game folder

Rob · Post by **Rob** » 29 Jul 2005 16:53

You can also try the registry editor from Shadow XIII

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 16:54

unzipped it in my folder where the patch is and the exe etc etc and run the patch. Still no sound.

Why oh why do i always get these weird problems with my computer, i hoped i just overlooked something.

You've turned on the sound

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 16:56

Nope, used the reg editer to turn the sound on that way still no sound... meaning its not the game.

Do i like need to have some sound thingy unmuted or something?!?!

EDIT:
Unmuted all sound thingy's and still no sound

EDIT#2:

Are the speakers correctly connected?

Another thing, if you want you can play the music using winamp !!!

You need to go in dos prompt and rename the .gm files into .mp3 files, then you can play them with winamp

It's been while , but I think it's like this

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 18:18

Purno: Im listening to music right now so they're working.

spaceman-spiff: hmm... thanks, ill do that if i cant play the game itself.

EDIT:
And yes.. i still wanna play the game!!!! PLEASE HELP ME :hugecrythatthisforumdoesnthave:

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 29 Jul 2005 18:26

You do have the sound files, don't you?

(gm/*.gm (1 MB) + sample.cat (1,5 MB) IIRC)

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 19:19

Yup. Both the sample file and a bunch of gm's.

I WANNA PLAY THIS GAME!!!!

*terrorises forum*

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 21:01

i upped my volume to the max (120 decibel) and long and behold... SOUND!!!
Very soft still tho.

Installation guide.

Zoeff · Post by **Zoeff** » 29 Jul 2005 21:07

heh, posted in the same minut.. thanks anyway.

Blah... i need to somehow turn up the volume. I checked the game volume itself in the jazzbox thingy and its full there too. Strange.

EDIT:
Also, there is no music, just sound effects. o.O

Close, but you need to rename them to .mid, not .mp3
