No ingame Sounds available - FF7
« on: 2009-02-01 18:46:14 »
Geeez, hi everyone...
after reading a lot of Support topics and bothering the search-function without any traces of a topic related to my situation i now open a single one for it.
It seems like every 2nd user got problems with the music, but none with the sounds. Well here is one :(

Here is the situation:

- Configurator sound-sample -> works
- ingame music -> works
- ingame sounds -> not present at all

already tried a lot of nonsence to fix this problem on my own but its no good.
All drivers on my machine are up-2-date by now.
- no, the soundFX are not ingame muted ;)
Well i can't install the sfman for some reason. Dunno if this is of any importance.


if you have any sugguestion what could cause the game to stop playing soundFX ingame while passing the test in the Configurator, let me know please.

I already appreciate your concern :)
(  btw, seems like i should have bought the PSX-Version + PSX of FF7 after having that much trouble mit FF8-PC version in the past...well some people never learn -_-  )


edit: after installing FF8 i found out thats its obviously no real game foult with FF7. Even in FF8 i have no ingame sounds anymore. My Machine Specs didnt change since my last playing FF8 (with sound!) so its seems more like some kind of codec problem or whatsoever :/
geeeez -.-

Doesn't hurt to check, but... your Midi isn't muted in Windows sound control, is it?
