Hi, I downloaded the game from HotU. I play it using scummvm 0.9.0. I have voices and sound effects but there is no music... Should there be? I'm still on the top floor, maybe it appears later on. I've already met Lamb (so you know where I'm a the moment).
And yes, I set the volume of music in settings to maximum.
Beneath a Steel Sky - no music
Moderator: ScummVM Team
Thanks clem, now I know at least that there should be music in the background:
Like I said I downloaded the game from HotU. This is a list of files:
readme.txt 6kb
sky.dnr 40kb
sky.dsk 70732kb
When I start it with ScummVM the message in the black window is:
Looking for sky
Trying to start game 'Beneath a Steel Sky'
Found BASS version v.0.0368 (5099 dnr entries)
The game works fine except of music
.
And clem... I don't think that there is a switch to turn the music of. Only volume (which I set to maximum). FX and Speech have switches.
PS. I got the midi sounds in other scummvm games - like Simon the Sorcerer or The Secret of Monkey Island.

Hey guys, I have exactly the same problem - but I tried already 3 different versions including the one on the website here. No music
. And sometimes the audio-sounds are missing, for example sometimes I can hear a laser being shot, sometimes not. crap
. music is turned on in the menu.
Anybody got some help??

Does it make any difference if you change the Music driver setting to Adlib? (The Adlib music doesn't sound as nice as the MIDI music, of course, but it is an option.) If so, the problem of the missing music is probably related to MIDI playback. You don't mention which operating system you're using, but it could be as simple as adjusting the operating system's MIDI volume setting.systray wrote:Hey guys, I have exactly the same problem - but I tried already 3 different versions including the one on the website here.

I have no idea about missing sound effects, though.

I don't run Windows XP (except at work), but there should be a volume slider in the same place as the others (i.e. somewhere in the control panel, or there may be a shortcut in the systray). It could be called "synth"-something.systray wrote:wow, it works when I set it to adlib. weird. where do I set the os midi volume in windows xp?
