No music in beta6

[bowelripper]

Hello.
There's no music playing in the games (Doom 1/2, Heretic, Hexen) using beta6. I've tried both with and without soundtrack add-ons. Also tried the different sound drivers. With the SDL driver the intro music in D2 plays, but that's it. Sound effects are there, by the way. I tried an older version (1.8.6) and then there was music, so clearly it's got something to do with the new beta.

Any suggestions?

Using WinXP SP3 with built-in soundcard (Realtek).

I'm having the very same problem: no music. I was running Doomsday 1.8.6 before without problems about music. I can't get music with or without the music add-ons. I tried reinstalling Doomsday, because I might have messed up some configuration, but I still can't get music to work.

I'm running onboard soud. SoundMax, the default audio for Asus a while ago, I guess.

I can send more info, if necessary, just tell me what to send.

Read the postings in the beta 6 release thread. They haven't fully implemented the music in beta 6 yet. So no matter what you do, it's not going to work until they release beta 6.1.

Actually, the audio system work has not been scheduled yet. Beta 6.1 is simply to address some of the critical issues found in Beta 6.

Well. Next time I'll pay more attention to the release material, so I don't cry for help for something I was suppose to know. But thanks, anyway. Keep up the great work, DaniJ and whoever else is working with you, it's great to love a game you also love.

Cheers!!

Look dude I wasn't trying to sound like a jerk. I was letting you know that most of the discussion took place in the beta 6 release thread. I never accused you of crying, I was was just trying to be nice.

@Rebelcrow83: And you didn't sound like one. I was just saying I'll be more careful next time!

well in reality right now doomsday is not switching to the track number for the lvl and just sticking with the song that was played preveously.

[DaniJ]

I am yet to reproduce this issue of the title music playing everywhere. For me, I get the correct MIDI playing on whatever map I play or which audio plugin I use (that supports MIDI playback).

[Gordon228]

well the only one for music that works for me is the sdl mixer and it only plays the track that will play like the title or the intermission or the message song with the text that first appers in doom 2 after map 6.

Are you using any of the jDEP addons? These addons replace the default MapInfo definitions but they neglect to specify music tracks, thus no music is played. Perhaps this is the cause of your problem?

These jDEP addons need to be updated to work with Doomsday 1.9.x

In 1.9.0-beta5 music plays fine instead of beta6 (with or w/o any graphic jDEPs)...

p.s. I don't use music addons...

[Gordon228]

well that worked for me thanks.

I have rechecked that. It works if you don't use Environment Pack (at least jdep-all-20080614.pk3).
With other addons works fine (I use dhtp-20090226, jdui-all-20080614, jdrp-packaged-20070404).
But in beta5 it did not cause a problem.

So, gotta wait for the next release to get music? (Im running totally addonless)
