Beneath A Steel Sky. Quick Question

05-12-2006, 01:30 PM

So I've finally gotten around to playing this, but I have a question. I'm a bit disturbed by the lack of music and am wondering if there's supposed to be any and I'm just not hearing it. I'm at the very beggining, so maybe I'm just being paranoid, but it's been bugging me.

Yeah, there is music in the game at the beginning (and in the rest of the game, too). It can be a pain in the backside to get the music/sound working well together, even with ScummVM.

Peace & Luv, Liz

As Jeysie said, there should be music throughout the game (the game has AdLib and MT-32 tracks).

But I really can't see how it could be a problem to get it to work with ScummVM.

Depends on your soundcard. I had to do a crapload of playing around with both my Windows settings and the ScummVM settings before I hit on something that worked. I kept ending up with either music but no sound, or sound but no music.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Alright, looks like I have some tweaking to do. Sigh.
