Default Re: XP Sound Problems - Try this out

Here is the write up that was included with the CD version and will be included with the patch as well . The file is named SOUND_PROBLEMS.txt and is found ( in the CD version and patch ) in the \Game Data\Sounds\WAV folder ( which does not exist in the DL version ) If you do convert your sound files to WAV you then need to change your Sounds.ini file to look for .Wav rather than .Mp3. ( I have attached a "wav" verson to this posting

Don

================================================== =================

Some machines with integrated sound cards do not play multiple MP3's well

If you are having sound problems please follow this procedure

Download a sound program like Goldwave that allows you to batch convert sound files

www.goldwave.com

After starting up Goldwave find the Sound folder. If you installed the default location for the game look
in C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT\Game Data\Sounds.

When Goldwave is loaded click on the "File" tab and look for 'Batch Processing'. A new screen will
appear. Click on the 'Add files' button then add all the MP3 files in the Game Data\Sounds folder to Goldwave

Once you have done that you want to choose the "Save as Type" to .WAV and the 'Attributes' to
PCM signed 24 bit stereo on the "Convert" tab after checking off the "convert files to this format" box

Next. click on the Folder tab and check the " Store all files in their original folder" box

Then press the "begin" button and Goldwave will convert all the MP3 sound files and make copies as .WAV

Once this has been done copy the "sounds.ini" found in the WAV folder to the Game Data\Sounds folder and
overwrite the one in there now

This converts your game to run WAV sound files instead of MP3's and we have found the few people who have
reported sound problems have had success using this conversion method

We have not included WAV files with the DL or CD versions simply because the WAV format, with comparable
recording qualities as the MP3's, adds approx 144 megabytes to the files. It's much easier on everyone to convert
if necessary
