Dark Savior Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hey. I'm on Windows 2003 and can't get NOLF2's music to work. I've tried everything in the Sound Problems sticky topic, but nothing. I can't install WMFADist.exe because it says it's not compatible with my version of windows. Yes even with compatibility mode in xp. Tried to manually copy L3codeca.acm from the WMFAdist package. Also nothing.. What's also puzzling is that NOLF1's music won't also play. Neither will Shogo's. On XP the music plays fine. It's been driving me nuts for years, finally gave up and try asking in here... Specs: ECS Nforce2 Athlon XP 3200+ Geforce 5200FX Audigy 2 Value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAssER Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Be sure all audio drivers are correctly installed. And check the following: Start -> Run -> services.msc -> Start the service: Windows Audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Windows 2003? as in the server OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Savior Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 SAssER, yes...new games work perfectly. But for some reason these Monolith games never had music in 2003. Sound effects work fine though. My Audigy2 drivers are the latest, the Audio service is enabled. I really think it's just these odd codecs they use. Maybe if that WMFAdist.exe was made for this os. If anyone knows a manual way to register the codecs inside it let me know. Eliteone. yes. Though it's just technically an updated xp kernel.

The server OS has other properties than desktop operating systems. There isn't a driver on the Nolf 2 CD (sound etc) for that operating system. Now you could try to run it in compatibility mode (right click the icon and go to properties, select Windows XP or 2000 and see if that helps. Found a couple articles about this you can check out. http://www.tutorials-ne.com/sdk/Enumerating-audio/ http://www.msfn.org/comments.php?shownews=17228 http://www.west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/4337.aspx http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/bo...;message.id=291 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAssER Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 In the launcher (before you click Play to start the game) you can try to click options and disable DirectSound 3D or Hardware-Sound maybe that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
