No sound in game or FMVs (solved)

[Lonewuhf]

I decided to give FF7 another play through, so I dug through my old games and found it again.  I'd used some of the patches here before, and everything worked perfectly, but this time when I installed everything, the SFX and the FMV sounds don't work.  Before I was using Windows XP, and now I'm using Windows 7x64.  I searched around a bit, and found some promising threads, though none ended up working.  I tried using FF7music and Loopbe to no avail.  The thing that makes me wonder is that in the tab for Sound in FFconfig my audio driver doesn't show up in that box.  The music is working fine, with or without FF7music, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem.  Also, when I test the SFX in ffconfig they work fine, and the sound comes out of the correct speakers.  I'm at a complete loss as to what to do now, hopefully someone here has found a solution to the problem.

Edit:  It may be that I'm not using Loopbe correctly, but there aren't many options.  I changed my Midi settings to use Loopbe, while I run FFmusic through the GS wavewhatever synthesizer.  All I have when I open the Loopbe window is a box to either mute or unmute, so I can't imagine that I'm doing that part incorrectly.

If you turned your midi volume down, some SFX won't play.  Have you checked more than 1 FMV to verify that none of them are working?

Yeah, none have worked so far, but it's not just FMVs.  Sound since the very beginning hasnt worked, the opening movie when I start the game doesn't have sound either.  Battle sounds and menu sounds don't work.

Update your audio driver.  If that fails, download older versions.  If THAT fails, post again

Alright, I updated my audio drivers and nothing changed.  I then uninstalled those drivers and installed drivers from around the time I last played, since it's the same hardware, only Windows is different.  That didn't work either.  The sound card still never showed up in the midi sound driver box, either time I installed new drivers.  All I have in that box is a crap ton of Tunebite High-Speed dubbing things.  I doubt Tunebite is the culprit, but I'm not sure.  I also can't for the life of me figure out why my sound driver isn't showing up in that box.

It COULD be that Tunebite (whatever that is) is interfering with your default audio driver.  I know in Windows 7 there is an option under Sounds that allows me to change my default audio source. 
Outside of that, I really don't think I can offer anymore help

[Lonewuhf]

Hrm, so apparently it was tunebite all along.  I ended up un-installing tunebite then re-installing my sound drivers and the drivers showed up in the FFconfig.  They still didn't work in game until I used Loopbe, but with it they work perfectly.  It's much more satisfying using limits when you can actually hear them .  Anyway, thanks for your help!  I appreciate it!

No problem.  Glad we got it figured out!
