Default Re: Music?????

Well, I have the music problem too. Only one Asus CD-ROM drive, and I don't hear any music automatically, even after I turn it ON in the game options menu (why in the h*** is it turned OFF as default?) The problem is not in volume controls or default music players. I CAN get some music playing if I manually press the play button that is on the front panel of my CD drive, but I don't know if it plays the way it's supposed to in this way or not.

I just came with an theory that I haven't been able to check yet: do you guys use the auto-play option in Windows with your CD drive? I find that to be a most irritating thing, and therefore I would never use it. If SE IV requires that option to be ON for the music to start playing?

This is interesting...I have had no music problems. I checked and my music is ON by default (first thing I did after I installed it). Hmmm....

Could it be a driver incompatibility?

We're still not sure why the music is not working with some setups but it may in fact have something to do with your CD audio properties.

In either case Aaron is looking into it.

Mine also defaults to ON. This is a weird little bug, isn't it?

I'm amazed that I'm not having problems. My CD-ROM is always giving me trouble with ordinary music CDs, so I certainly would have expected to be among the ones who are having trouble!

Thanks for all the info everyone!

Still haven't figured it out... after trying all the help offered.....

It's irritating, but doesn't stop my enjoyment of the game!

If anybody has an epiphany, please let me know!

Thanks!
