Sound Problem With Discworld
Hey,
OK this is a really tricky problem, one that I haven't been able to figure out yet so maybe someone else can. I'm trying to run Discworld, but it either runs with no sound, but music under DOSBOX, or doesn't run at all in VDM Sound. I either get an error message saying it can't read drive G or a message that tells me that my system doesn't support full screen mode. Those error's were in XP and Vista respectively. Any tips on how to get this game running would be highly appreciated |
Do you have the original CD?
With that one I can help you, runs fine in dosbox with the correct settings and mounts,can't help you if you downloaded a rip somewhere .... Tough I'm not so sure if I want to help, it seems that all can ask for help, and ask us detailled and elaborate instructions, but are unable to give some basic info themselves. |
I have almost the opposite problem; no audio whatsoever in DosBox, music but no SFX or voice in VDMSound. I'm on 2000 Pro and running a copy obtained from Abandonia. (Mind you, I seem to recall having similar problems in Windows 95 from the original CD back when I played it the first time around.)

have you tried following the guildlines from the review page?

Well, I tried that, and not only did it not work but the music isn't playing properly any more. I think I need to fiddle around with my configuration a bit more...
|
maybe if you at least wrote what exactly have you done, what are the conditions and result.
trying to help to somebody who says "IT DUZN'T WORKZ FOR ME" isn't really easy |
Sorry for my lack of info.
I am running Vista I have Dosbox 0.73 (the most recent) I got Discworld from Abandonia I can't use VDM sound because I get an error message saying that my system doesn't support full screen mode. No I don't have the original CD Yes, I have no idea what to do |
well, what are your commands you type into dosbox in order to run the game, after the instalation. and what is the real location of the game on your HDD? also check sound config in dosbox.cfg file

Question:
Does the Abandonia download has music and voices? I seem to remember that this has been discuted before somewhere ..... and that if you wanted the voices you needed to download the HotU version. Even the HotU version didn't had music *IF* I remember swell.... only voices. Or something .... [Edit] Just checked my original Discworld, the CD is 384MB .... Hard to believe that the Abandonia version isn't ripped to the bone. |
