music/sfx - i'm a dummy

[Rehpotsirhc]

During the u7 intro and in game the only sound I hear is when then guarding speaks, no sfxs and no music. I changed the midi thing from gm to gs to gs127 none of them work. I looked in the stdout.txt file:

Which midi device do I want to choose? I also downloaded the jmsfx and jmsfxsi files so I could extract them into the exult folder but when I tried to open the .cfg file it said I needed a different program. Sorry about the dumb questions, but thank you for this program!

open exult.cfg via the notepad.
make sure your midi music volume is not turned down and not turned off.
Read the documentation and the FAQ

i got the jmsfx and jmsfxsi in okay now but still no luck, when iim at the choosing screen to has a small speaker x'ed out for each game so i assumed it was something in the setup =( sry, i'm clueless

[Rehpotsirhc]

ok, got the sfxs working and the x'es are gone from the from menu but still no music, i gotta be doing somethingwrong, man I'm dumb

[Dominus]

search for files with the file ending .mid on your hard disk, try to play those. if those don't play. check out the multimedia manager in the system control of windows. and please make sure to check the volume setting of the music mixer of windows. if midi is turned off or set very low you can't hear music

thank you

Would you stop being so negative?

[Dominus]

yes don't be so negative. You wrote that you are a dummy right away after all so that's okay. If you would start beating yourself for not being able to read that would be another story...
that said I'm happy it works okay now for you!
