I recently reinstalled Tie Fighter 95 and X-wing from the x-wing trilogy cd's. I got more or less everything to work, except music. It's kind of annoying, I got sound, I got 3d Hardware rendering, I got both the games to launch without problem, but there is almost no music. I only get music when I enter the Historical Missions of Tie Fighter, and not always (you know, when that thing opens up, that simulator, sor of cutscene, and then some when I'm selecting a mission, but that's it). I never get music in flight. Same problem for xwing, but in xwing I get no music at all. Any ideas anyone ? I'm using XP

You should make sure the game CD is in the optical drive with the lowest letter (i.e. if you have a DVD-ROM on E: and a DVD burner on F: make sure the CD is in the DVD-ROM). XW95 and TIE95 will run w/o the CD inserted, but you won't get music unless it is.

Yes, I read that in another thread, but it doesn't work for me. I didn't think this was the problem as, as I described, sometimes I hear a little music, but then it rather abruptly stops, and sometimes I don't hear any music. Maybe this is just a coincidence of course.

Could it have something to do with the fact that my cd drive with the lowest letter is G: ? I noticed before that, sometimes, older games don't like a drive letter larger than D:.

It may, but my only optical drive is on E: and the games work fine. Remember, you can reassign drive letters in WinXP from the "Disk Management" feature (accessed by right-clicking My Computer, choosing "Manage", and clicking "Disk Management" in the left-hand tree).

I have the same problem, so any new idea how to play music in missions?
Anyway these sound .wavs are not too nice. I found the old .mids on the net, which are much better, and can be played in an other winamp "repeat forever" task.
