Sound Effects Not Working In Game

[brainchyld]

Hi, When I test the sounds in the config i hear the sounds perfectly...(the chocobo) well anyways....when i go in-game there are no sounds at all just music...can someone help me with this? -_-   both "audio.dat" and "audio.fmt" in my "data/sounds" directory are "0 bytes"  does anyone know where i can get them or can someone email them to me....my email is "[email protected]"....thanks for ur help

Is this a downloaded, bootleg version of FF7?
If so, you will have to go somewhere else for support, or you could just buy the whole game.

[brainchyld]

nope....it's my friends game.....but i gave him back the cds and now he cant find it   ...ive been stressing so much over this game

[Aaron]

Audio.dat being 0 bytes means that your sound data is missing.  This has happened before when the game was a bootleg version, but it could also happen if your CDs are bad.

My suggestion is to check the installation CDs for scratches, and try reinstalling the software.

Of course, you'll need to find the install CD...

[brainchyld]

hmmmmm...that could be it...cuz it happend on my friends too when he used to play it...thats why he let me borrow it...but hes been lookin for it for a long time..so he gave up.....is it possible for someone to send it to me through email

[Mofokubik]

no

[brainchyld]

how come?

[Aaron]

If you can provide some sort of proof that you own the game (picture of receipt, box, CDs, manual, something), we can send you the audio files I suppose.

[brainchyld]

oh...i see then it's a matter of proof, well then i guess im lucky i still have the box...here ya go....



i guess it didnt work...i have to put the picture on the internet dont i


i sent u the email with the picture of the box aaron, hope it helps

[Aaron]

I got your e-mail, but however you tried to put the picture in there, it didn't work.  Please send the picture as an attached file.

[Rubicant]

Hahahahahhahahhahaa!

Sorry, couldn't help but laugh. It reminds me when I put up my first webpage and all the image links were linked to where they were on the hard drive. Good times..

My question is, how did you get the program to even install when the audio files are screwed up?

[brainchyld]

there you go aaron..sent it  

[Aaron]

I don't know how it installed if the audio files are screwed up.

I'll put the file on my FTP tomorrow, and e-mail you with the details on how to get it, brainchyld.  I'd do it now, but it's about 68 MB... what a long upload... easier to burn it onto a CD and take it up to my server.

[brainchyld]

ok....i dont know how either...i guess i got lucky...well i guess im not too lucky since this is takin me so long just to play a game..but thanks a lot, ive been lookin forward to playin this game

so how big are the files audio.dat, and audio.fmt anyways...which one is the 60 meg one?

[Jedimark]

audio.dat is the big one...
audio.fmt is priety small.... few kb's i think

[S-12]

I happen to have the same problem, dont ask me how it installed. Well i have the Audio.dat and Audio.fmt files from the demo and overwritted the ones that were empty.
Oh well do i need to get a proof that i own the game?

[Mofokubik]

the reason alot of people have no audio files, is because they downloaded the cracked version off of kazaa, and i have it, but i also own the actual cd's. not having any sound should be the price you pay for not buying the game.

[Jedimark]

Oh well do i need to get a proof that i own the game?

Yes please... we dont mind helping out people who own a legitamite copy of the game. A photo of the CD's or the box should do.

[Threesixty]

Might as well tell the guy to give 10 dollars and the old disk to Eidos, and they'll send you a new one....that's what I would have done. Just go to the forum section, and look for Redleggs....and send him a Private Email.

As for finding an FF7 PC copy...only place now would be E-bay.

It would be cheaper getting a Refurbuished Playstation, a memory card and FF7 PSX....if you asked me.

Then get:
FF8
FF9
Crono Cross
Legends of Dragoon
Thread of Fate
Xeno Gears
Star Ocean 2story
And.....the list goes on.
