XP Sound Problems - Try this out

Also - the goldwave route would be much better for someone on dial-up, 1.8 MB dial up is a lot less painful than 43Mb, especially if the dial-up user is paying by the minute.

Jesus Almighty Christ! Guys... Come on...

I am only making another alternative available. There are lots of people, as it seems you two just ignore it, that have difficulty even in finding a file within their HD... And who prefer the 43 MB download. And, Don, qualifying those persons as "totally inept" is just being rude (to put it mildly), and doesn't help WinSPMBT a little bit. Why would I bother to upload a 43 MB file, if it is not to help somebody else?

What's going on here, anyway?

How about doing a little thinking before dropping heavy artillery on people who are only wanting to help?

A BIT sensitive for some reason today?

YOU were the one asking people to only DL your file because of bandwidth usage problems. ALL I did was point out the reasons why *I* provided the alternative I did. If there are people who prefer to DL 43 MB over 1.8 and a couple minutes work then you've definitely provided a useful and valuable service for them and there is nothing wrong with that.

Take a pill, NOBODY was "dropping heavy artillery on people who are only wanting to help" gimme a break. If you want to provide this to people that just fine by us.

Just one question:

Allthe problems discussed in this topic are XP related right?...I mean, there shouldn't be any issue runing under W98, with any codec or whatever the culprit is on XP right?

The key seem to be XP combined with systems that use an integrated sound chip though not in 100% of the cases. I don't recall anyone with w98 and a proper sound card having difficulties ( ??)

What do you mean by "a proper sound car"?, any suggestion?

I�m asking because I�m upgrading my machine and I don�t want to spend money just to find out that my new acquired hardware has issues with the game or that there�were better hardware options to play it.

Thanks in advance

Well I think that file from M256 was damn useful. M256 you are a great help thanks a million.

I do have a proper souncard by the way and we are not inept just because we cannot get something that used to work to work properly again.

I used the recommended cure of using goldwave to change the MP3 sound files to .wav files for this problem as my new machine is XP pro with on board sound. It wouldn't work at first but I check a preexisting wav file in the folder and noted it was 16bit mono so used that and the problem was fixed. I then tried 16 bit stereo and it goes fine now. I donot note any difference between the stereo and mono quality.
