Default CD Music?

I have this option enabled, but no music plays at all. In fact, I can't find any music files on the CD or in the folders on my hard drive.

Is the CD music option just to allow you to play some other music CD while playing SEIV or am I missing something?

Default Re: CD Music?

Do you have an analog cable running from your CD drive to the sound card? If not, do you have digital playback enabled for the CD Drive?

Other than those, is the CD Music setting in Settings.txt (in the Data folder) set to allow music, or disallow it?

There is a small cable attached, and the box to enable digital audio is greyed out in my device manager.

Haven't had trouble playing any kind of audio from CD before, so what's different here?

Ok, check the Settings.txt file and look for the Allow CD Music line (at the top). Make sure it is set to TRUE. If FALSE, you can't play any CD music in SE4.

Yep, it's set to TRUE. Forgot to mention that before.

You do have the game CD in the drive, right? There is no music if the CD is not in there.

How about in the game options menu? Is the CD Music turned on there?
