No Music

[Xeon]

I can't seem to get the music to work. I'm using the classic graphics and classic midis. I have them set up on the DMaps but I can't hear anything even in the quests that come with Zelda Classic.

sounds like you need to set your drivers.

here is the info I collected up when I had the same problem.



If you run AG setup.exe, then go to midi driver, it'll ask you for your sound card and give you a list. If yours isn't on the list, it's not compatible.

Okay, don't mess with the patches and such... leave them at default. Try changing your midi device to either "MPU-401" or "Midi Out". Don't use auto-detect: it'll usually give the generic "Adlib" option, which is probably what the problem is.

Thank you Overdrive it worked!

Ok Tudorcat this is what you should do!

1-Go into AGSetup
2-Go to Digital Driver
3-Click on Generic SB
4-Listen to what the bottom screen says and set everything to what the "usually" is.
5-Click ok
6-Go to the other sound option
7-Select MPU-401
8-Select everything to what the bottom screen says
9-Click ok, save the changes.
10-Run Zelda

Boomaster choose MPU-401 anyway. Let me tell you that I don't have a Generic SB or MPU-401 but it worked. Choose it anyway then in the options screen set the stuff to what the bottom screen says. Click ok, and run Zelda.

If this doesn't work just keep playing around with all the sound cards and save. Eventually something should work. After trying a sound card imediately set the options and save and run Zelda.

DON'T DO A SOUND TEST IN AGSETUP, IT WILL FAIL!

DO A SOUND TEST ONLY IN THE ZELDA GAME!

--------------------------
what I did for mine
--------------------------

set Digital Driver to "Soundblaster Pro" and "usual" settings as instructed by the Agsetup.exe
set Midi Driver to "Adlib (opl2) and "usual" settings.

thanks, but my sound card must not be supported. I tried every combination I could think of and nothing worked. Which is weird because I can still here the sound effects just not the background music.

maybe it's turned off, did you check that?

Control Panel --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Audio --> MIDI Music Playback

Make sure you are using a device that works. I had the same problem for a while.

Heh, thanks. I just had the wrong one selected in CP.
