That is odd. If other sound effects work, so should the logs, I think...
Two things to check:
- are you using CDSHOCK.BAT? SSHOCK.BAT doesn't have log audio.
- in game, make sure you have Logs set to "Both", rather than "Text".

I'll check this again, but I used the method described in this topic, so I use CDSHOCK.bat which use Mok's CDSHOCK.exe. VDMSound is configured as SoundBlaster Pro (IRQ7, 8-bit DMA1, 16-bit DMA5) as well as the Cyb.cfg.
Weird, little sad, but I'll survive as much as I can wander in Citadel. thanks for your help though !

When you were doing the sound check while installing SS1, did you get any digital sound?

Does anyone else get the sounds from the opening movie playing but only see a black screen with a cursor, I think i have tried every combination of everything and this is the only product i can get, i have XP SP2 and really want to play SS1, i own the CD version

Hi
I have just installed SS1 on my Win 2K machine folling the FAQ direction to the letter and can run and interact with the game no probs. The only issue I have encountered is that the MIDI music is really slow and clunky. The digital sound appears fine though.
When I first installe dthe game and set my sound card up using VDMS, the MIDI option was the only one that would return good test music.
I noticed taht the slowing of the music occured after I setup the CDSHOCK.BAT file for running with VDMS.
Any thoughts out there on what I might need to do. The game plays fine so I might just have to live with it.
Cheers

@diamond2a: try switching between SVGA and MCGA cutscenes in the installer, perhaps? If you can't get the cutscenes working in game, you can always download and play them seperately (

@duelists: try turning on Performance->Try To Reduce CPU Usage and set it to Low in the properties for the VDMS shortcut. I had the same issue and this helped a lot, although I think it still plays slightly slower than it should.

Thanks for the tip. Sound works a treat now. All I have to figure out now is how to get the menu screen to display upon startup.. My version goes to a balck screen with the menu music playing. As long as I can remember the key strokes to load my last saved game, it then starts to work.
Thanks Again:D

well it did start up, managed to cut down on the slow-downs, but still there's one question I'd like to ask. Why is it, that in the sound config window the MIDI playback is flawless, but as soon as I start up the game, it reduces to some pre-PC Speaker jingles? ^^" Also what would be the specs to run it with VDMS?
It is fairly choppy sometimes on this config:
AMD Sempron2600+
512 Megz of RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT
Windows XP Professional
And sometimes the mouse cursor just dissapears.
Thanks for any help you can give

Anhaedra, remove NOLFB.COM from your cdshock.bat and try then to run it.
