FFVII Sound isses
« on: 2004-08-18 12:02:33 »
Hello

Recently i had to reformat my PC, now that i reinstalled FFVII i have noticed that i have lost all ingame sound except for the background music. Is there anyway to fix this?

Here are my specs.

Windows XP
1GB DDRAM
64 bit XP3200 processor
9600XT graphics card
onboard sound.

Before i formatted everything ran fine but now i have no sound. Also the GeForce patch that allows for Software Rendering even when set correctly seems to leave green lines across the screen.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

About the green lines... make sure FSAA is disabled (Display control panel, Settings tab, Advanced button, tab for your vid card, Performance and Quality Settings -- if that's not there, grab new drivers from nVidia's site).

I've heard of the sound problem before but can't remember a fix atm.

thanks.

But i have a radeon graphics card.. :(

anti aliasing was actually turned on before i formatted and it ran fine... so why would there be a difference now.

I took your advice and altered the anti aliasing and it work fine now thanks! :)

But i'm still having no luck with the sound issues...

Ah, sorry about that, for some reason I was thinking you had a GeForce2... guess I was thinking about another thread.  I see your vid card listed in your original post.

AFAIK, there is no way for FSAA to work in FF7 on an ATI card without causing problems with the backgrounds.  Try turning it off and see if it is fixed.

But still only background music... are there any codecs to fix this?

Maybe it has to do with DirectX?
Maybe....you need to upgrade in order? and not just jump to the last one? 9.0c

Dunno... I fresh installed Windows XP SP2 last weekend, which comes with 9.0c built in, and haven't had any problems with FF7.  Anyway, I think upgrading from any DirectX to the latest has always been a supported path, it'd be kind of silly if you had to do interim upgrades.  And if he's using Windows XP, lowest he could have is 8.1.

I think I remember someone else fixing this by messing with the codecs or something, gonna dig around for that thread right now...

(Don't download the XP patch he mentions though.)
