Never heard the music to the game
 

Despite having the CD in the drive etc. I have a SoundbLaster Live 128 Soundcard. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Re: Never heard the music to the game
 

While playing, press F2 (game menu), go to options, and check the box "CD sound"

Re: Never heard the music to the game
 

makse shure that you have a small (normally grey)audio cable running from the cd player to the sound bLaster live.

Your sound card uses this cable to transfer the audio from cd to your sound card.

You will find that after about 8 hours of gaming. You will wonder why you ever wanted to listen to the music in the first place. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hmm, it took me only about half an hour before turning the music off http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif.

You're a far better person than I to Last 8 hours! I think the first track was enough to convince me to load up Winamp.

Re: Never heard the music to the game
 

Did not make it 8 hours either. Just exagerating ( bad spelling ) to prove a point.

I usually listen to what I downloaded from emusic or jazz

Same here. Especially when you have to sort out the orders for 15+ transports that makes up the logistic network for your 6 attack fleets and 100 planets...

Re: Never heard the music to the game
 

Orb music is perfect for that.

Most of my tiny CD collection is far too mellow for SE IV. The only ones that really go well are the classical collection disks. Especially disk 1, which includes the William Tell Overture, 1812 Overture, and Blue Danube.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Re: Never heard the music to the game
 

Yeah, but when your attack strategy unfolds and your fleets move in, a bit of "Ride of the Valkyries" fits right in...

Slightly of topic but for first person shooters I like to play occasionally listening to Trigger Happy by Wierd Al

I got an ak47 and you know it makes me feel allright.
