No Music - MXO Forum Archive

#12400005496 10/11/2005 03:39:38 No Music

I just purchased the game last night to add to my Station Access. Installation went smoothly, patching was very rapid and character creation was fine. Connectivity was fine. I have only had one issue; there is no music.

I was in the MXO beta and I clearly remember there being music when jacking in, during combat and travel.

I searched for similar issues suffered by other users here in the technical support forum. In the main one I found, I followed similar procedures. I deleted my Profiles folder and did a full patch. I turned off my hardware acceleration in DirectX. I disabled sound options in game at the Audio tab.

None of this has worked.

I attempted to paste my DXDiag and MSINFO32 information here, but it seems rather futile. The information is too long and not one other program I have, ranging from games to video editing programs (Adobe Premiere) or audio editing programs (Soundforge) have a single issue playing any sound I care to generate.

Any assistance that can be provided would be appreciated.

#12400005497 10/11/2005 03:46:08 Re: No Music

what soundcard are you using?

#12400005503 10/11/2005 09:01:14 Re: No Music

I am using a SoundBlaster Audigy 2NX USB external; can't stand onboard sound.

I rechecked my drivers and they are the most current installation, both software and firmware upgrades, from Creative.

I haven't had any noticeable issues in MXO or any other sound-producing application, minus the lack of music. The sound is very rich and of excellent quality. There's just no music.

#12400005505 10/11/2005 09:17:37 Re: No Music

possible glitch with the radio (it's happened to me). try typing
"/radio stop" ingame. 50% chance it will work, and no the radio
does not need to be playing to use

#12400005511 10/11/2005 12:21:56 Re: No Music

try disabling the EAX functions both in the control panel and through
the game options, i use both an Audigy and an Extigy both created
issues in the past for me with the music.

Try it see how it goes.

#12400005520 10/11/2005 14:21:57 Re: No Music

Yes, I saw the /radio stop suggestion in the other thread... unfortunately, that did not work either.

I disabled EAX in-game, but not from the console... I wen to the console to do just that, but I did not see an option to turn it off.

I will look for further information on this.

#12400005532 10/11/2005 16:55:45 Re: No Music

Hello,

I want to see if we can find a commonality for the sound issues. Adnihilo, could you post the sound portions of your dxdiag? Thanks.

#12400005549 10/12/2005 00:58:16 Re: No Music

there is a number of ways to switch off the EAX, there are options to
do it in the audio setup options located in the control panel, make
sure its the Creative sound options not the Windows audio options.
Other ways include doing it through the Creative Taskbar if you
installed it during the driver install, if it isnt running run through
the creative directory and there should be a executable file to make it
run. this enables the taskbar to quickly change EAX options. Or finally
through Creative Playcenter if you installed that during driver install.

Im fairly sure this will solve your problem. Just as an extra test
whilst playing the game open winamp or something in the background and
attempt to play some music.

#12400005582 10/12/2005 13:50:35 Re: No Music

I disabled EAX in the EAX console; no change, still no music.

I started up Windows Media player and loaded my playlist, then started up MXO. Music played just fine, could still hear all the game sound effects (combat, etc).

Did the reverse; started MXO and then started Media Player. Same result, music played and all in-game sound effects played fine.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. Still looking for an answer :smileywink:

#12400005584 10/12/2005 14:50:34 Re: No Music

Addendum to the previous post; the in-game radio option works like a charm. Listened to AwakenedRadio and my own MXO playlist just fine. Sound effects worked, everything worked. Just no in-game music, still.

#12400005635 10/14/2005 08:25:12 Re: No Music

I have the same problem when using EAX in mxo, i just de-select the box in the in-game audio settings and get my sound fine, just with no EAX effects :smileysad:

oh and btw, iv got an Audiogy 2 ZS standard...

Hello,

Can you hear all footsteps, jumpsounds, helicopters flying? If you teleport to a different hardline does the music start?

Yes, I can hear all footsteps, jumps and the helicopters (which can get pretty loud on occasion!).

Teleporting to a different hardline hasn't had any noticeable effect.

It's less of an issue now that I'm using my own playlists and listening to AwakenedRadio, but it's still rather strange.

#12400005667 10/15/2005 02:04:47 Re: No Music

Same, all footsteps, choppers etc but no music and hardline jumping does nothing.

Mayb its something to do with the audiogy 2 technology? Cos my brother uses the new X-FI and has no problems at all...

#12400005672 10/15/2005 06:48:44 Re: No Music

Hmmmm... I too have a sound problem but my is almost in reverse, alot
of the sounds are extremely quite unless I zoom right into the sourse
of those sounds, like footsteps or gun shots, however, the music abd
ambience play perfectly

#12400005696 10/16/2005 07:43:46 Re: No Music

No, I dont think its an audigy 2 problem, I have a Creative Audigy 2 pro and I get all the sounds from the game.

#12400005708 10/16/2005 23:28:49 Re: No Music

#12400005852 10/21/2005 07:41:07 Re: No Music

I have an onboard Audigy 2 and it works fine with MxO. I do have sound issues from time to time and to fix that all I have to do is change the settings back to the default settings in the Audigy's software. Keep in mind I never change the settings myself and haven't been able to narrow down which program I have on my pc that does keep changing it. I am at work and can't post the steps, but if anyone wants to try it let me know and I will post the steps when I get home this evening.

Hope this helps.

#12400005920 10/23/2005 08:41:57 Re: No Music

I have had the same exact problem Adnihilo is describing and have also tried everything I can find posted on the subject with no success.

-Turned of EAX

-Turn off hardware acceleration in Directx

-Updated ALL drivers to latest versions

-Deleted profile folder and performed full patch

-Tried /radio stop

-Manipulating selections in the in-game audio tab

As
Adnihilo has also indicated this is a problem with the in game-music
ONLY, not a radio or other audio problem. I have all other in game
sounds; footsteps, helicopter, etc. and full radio functionality, just
no in-game music. Jumping to another hardline location has no affect.
If anyone has found a solution or something else to try please let us
know. I have found the folder with the in game music on my hard drive
and played a few of the tracks so I feel like I am missing out!

Here is my Directx info related to audio-

#12400007500 12/24/2005 13:41:12 Re: No Music

Yup, I with you, I'd like to see some resolution as well. I am still

nice not nice to be ignored.

#12400007512 12/24/2005 20:18:09 Re: No Music

Bumping this back up... I uninstalled my Soundblaster and loaded up my onboard AC'97; still no game music, like the entry music, etc. Would still like to see a resolution, please.

#12400007578 12/27/2005 09:53:05 Re: No Music

I have had a similiar issue, but when i go to Windowed mode then minimize the game only to switch back to the game to have the sound gone. A work around i found with that issue was to go into the Audio panel and move the Volume slider a bit then the Music came back.

#12400007590 12/27/2005 14:38:17 Re: No Music

Sorry, don't know if it's been suggested, but when I ALT+TAB out of game and then back, I lose the background music.

Usually opening and closing the radio feature fixes it for me. But maybe that's pretty much the same thing as /radio stop. ... eh, worth a shot!

#12400007601 12/28/2005 07:11:04 Re: No Music

Well, I have to try that in january, when I come back to my regular computer. This one handles all the sounds perfectly (ehh, well as long as I restart the game every time I change sound options in any way).

#12400008463 02/04/2006 14:31:51 Re: No Music

I recently installed the SoundBlaster Live! 24 bit sound card. Since then I have not had any in game music at all. All the sound effects work just find and even the starting credits music works, but no in game music. The music for the Cinematics is gone now too. I searched the forums and found alot of ppl who posted this same problem. Has there been any resolution to this problem? I've updated all drivers and submittied prob to SOE, but no resolution yet. Just hoping someone has found a work around.

#12400008480 02/06/2006 08:04:02 Re: No Music

I will ask the compat lab if they have any information on incompatibilities with Creative products and the game. I'll let you know what I find out.

#12400008887 02/24/2006 01:17:54 Re: No Music

Bump.

Sound effects work - Music does not - Tried all the suggestions in this thread so far.

I need an answer to this question as well since I haven't had music since installation. I just returned to this game after a year to see if it got any better, I only played for a month before quitting and I'm not hesitant to quit again if something as simple as music playing can't be addressed. I've read posts in this thread from people who've been asking this question for a number of months it seems still without an answer. I'm not keen on continuing to spend my money on a disfunctional product, fix please.

Compat lab has no known issues with Creative cards. Have you tried adjusting the Sound Acceleration in your DXDIAG (Start->Run->DXDIAG->Sound tab) up or down to see if it makes any difference?

Bump for the sake of finding a solution. I just started playing this game and I am having exactly the same problem that everyone here is describing. Sound effects work fine but no music. I've done everything suggested in this thread with no luck. The codecs menitoned in the " No music issue fixed" thread doesn't help me because I have all the codecs in the right places in my Windows folder. I also don't have any special sound codec packs installed. Is there any word on a fix for this perhaps from SOE?

It's possible you have a codec with the same name, but a different version. MetaSin or Faithlessness care to send me the exact codec that youa re using? I can put it in the KB as a download, with instructions for placing it in the correct directory.

#12400009153 03/09/2006 15:14:18 Re: No Music

That would be awsome if one of those two could share with us what codec version they are using. :smileyhappy:

#12400009519 03/25/2006 05:25:52 Re: No Music

uhm... I am not perfectly sure on what version(s) I have anymore. I would need help/instructions to find it. :smileytongue:

#12400009621 03/27/2006 08:13:52 Re: No Music

Faithlesness, if you could go to your Windows/system32 directory, and locate l3codecp.acm Right-click on this file and choose Copy, and then Paste it onto the Desktop. When you've found it, shoot me a PM and I'll give you an e-mail address to send it to me.

Done 'n done.

#12400009737 03/30/2006 19:04:39 Re: No Music

Having the same problem - also with an Audigy 2 (LS in this case)

Used my onboard sound before - no problems - switched to the Audigy and music disappeared.

#12400009743 03/31/2006 05:51:34 Re: No Music

OK, I have fixed my no music issue, and I think this may be a definitive way for most if not all others can use to fix this problem.

First, download Windows Media Player 10 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx, and reinstall WMP10 (or install it for the first time if you still have a previous version). Then download this registry file from http://www.looprecorder.de/l3codecp.reg. Once you have the file downloaded, run it and click Yes to add it to the registry.

What this registry file does is registers the l3codecp.acm with Windows by adding the following keys/values:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"msacm.l3acm"="l3codecp.acm"
"msacm.l3codec"="l3codecp.acm"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
"l3codecp.acm"="Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional)"

The l3codecp.acm is the codec used for mp3 playback, and for whatever reason, WMP10 doesn't properly register it with Windows when it is installed, hence no music in MxO. Why MxO is sensitive to this and other games are not, I do not know. But this worked for me, and I hope it works for everyone else. Good luck!

#12400009747 03/31/2006 06:46:48 Re: No Music

Any feedback on this fix would be very welcome. Please let us know how it works for you. Please only try these steps if you are actually missing music in the game.

#12400009750 03/31/2006 09:36:43 Re: No Music

YES - MUSIC IS BACK - PRAISE THE LORD - HALLELUJAH!

Thx so much - all it took for me actually was the registry tweak

SMILEY

#12400009754 03/31/2006 09:59:28 Re: No Music

That's cool, Miggesch. Glad it worked. The reason I suggested reinstalling WMP10 first is so that people can be sure that they have the latest version of the codec. Obviously, if you already have it, then just the reghack will do the trick.

Have fun! :smileyhappy:

#12400011520 05/16/2006 13:42:46 Re: No Music

#36300480434 07/20/2008 09:35:29 Re:No Music

I have no in-game sounds. footsteps, etc.. I have A sound blaster X-fi on windows vista and i'm able to hear the in-game music but no sound effects, also when the launcher is up and i'm putting in my username and password the sounds are delayed when you type in your username/pass keys. another thing I have noticed with my current situation is: when I die and then click on the recon botton my volume panal shows up on the screen as if I was increaseing the volume then decreaseing it. shows up everytime I recon for about 1 second. I haven't found a solution to my issue. someone please help.

#36300481184 07/22/2008 16:01:09 Re:No Music

Had nothing that was suggested previously in this thread helped? If not, we can see what can be found through some of your system data.

#36300481359 07/23/2008 07:15:48 Re:No Music

Nope, I have found nothing useful when looking around unless I overlooked something. but yea.. I need some help
what did you need me to do first? how do I show you system info?

#36300481385 07/23/2008 10:47:29 Re:No Music

We can start by getting some of your DxDiag and MSInfo information - you can find instructions on how to get that info here.

From there, we can wade through the data and see where the culprit is.
