Discworld II music?

Well I don't know either. My scummvm.ini is posted above, and I didn't find any place to set the debugflag music.

So I tried to modify the exe-link, adding -d3 to the start parameters like this:
71#"\Lagringskort\Programfiler\ScummVM_ARM_STATIC_2009_02_23\ScummVM2.exe" -d3

but this produced the same output in scummvm_stderr.txt and scummvm_stdout.txt as the previous log documents.

Well, the command line argument for the music debugflag is --debugflags=music

OK, in that case the migration from Tremor to Tremolo is not the cause of the problem. That would have been the only system relevant change in comparision to older builds like 0.12.0 I´m aware of.

Bummer, then the problem might be of a more ephemeric sort.

Thank you. That did the trick.

The scummvm_stdout.txt reports:

But to no avail...

I tried The Curse of Monkey Island with the other exe-file and the music in the "select difficulty" splash screen plays fine.

Hm

(this goes mainly to DrMcCoy)

There were 2 commits concerning endianness on the ADPCM decoder - commit #36215 and #39465. #39465 partially reverted #36215, but not in all places. Perhaps that is related somehow?

pncFreak: do the sound effects and speech work?

Yes, in-game it works fine.
Eric Idle is chatting away as Rincewind, and the sound-effects are audible too.

I had some noise on the sound and stuttering in the intro videos, but I ascribed that to the tiny brain (read: CPU) on my device, and once the game started the soundFX and speech was up and running.

Out of curiosity, did you try changing the music volume from the game's options?

DrMcCoy · Post by **DrMcCoy** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 7:20 pm

If it's not the volume: I've just added a few more music debug messages, so could try a new build and attach the debug output to the bug report?

Yes to no avail.

In-game volume tweaking doesn't give any audible music.

Yes, I will happily try a new build with enhanced debug output.

Only trouble is: someone else wil have to build it for me, Lostech or Knakos or someone that know how to compile/build the WinCE port, because I don't know how to do this myself.

So, a downloadable build with enhanced debug output anyone?

Lostech · Post by **Lostech** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:44 am

I will compile a new SVN build today. The only problem could be where to upload it. But we will see.

Splendid, I'm looking forward to it.

Let us hope Anotherguest or someone else can host the new build.

Check your pm's

Lostech · Post by **Lostech** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 8:16 am

OK, here is the build. Since this is just intended for the sound debugging test I think the RS link (which means 10 available downloads) should do it at the moment:
