No sound 688i

Pilot_76 · 12-21-10, 09:05 AM

Hi

I've installed the navy pack on both laptops running win7/64 and xp/32. The version is 1.0.8 of the exe file. Still i only get the intro and in game music. SC and DW works fine but it's frustrating me 688 having no crew sounds in both laptops...anyone having the same issue?

Do you have the correct drivers for your laptop?

Pilot_76 · 12-21-10, 12:38 PM

Yes. Problem persists

I put it on a Desktop for testing...

This solution might help. 688i is a DOS-era application, right? Windows 95 compatibility is as close to DOS as you can get in the later Windows versions. Aside from Dosbox ofcourse.

thats odd i play the game in my daughters laptop and it runs fine with the sound in its glory, but firts what sound card do you have in yours? and what version of windows do you have install? my daughters is win 7 and no compatibility mode use. strange isnt it? there most be a conflict somewhere in your laptop, did you try the game somewhere else and it has sound? or maybe the crew speech is off

.
i will check on my duaghters laptop and see what she has on her install.

Hi Pilot,

Did you ever solve your sound problem with Jane's 688? I've got the same thing, music is ok but no sounds or speech. Tried it on 3 diffrent computers, all were with windows XP.

Thanks, Michael

Okay guys, just to pass along an hour's work for you. I bought a copy of the game off amazon for 18 bucks, installed, and ran fine, except no sound effects. Messed with every setting, reinstalled, tried downloading new DLLs, etc etc. Nothing worked. I came across a website (I thope it works... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...rsion&iId=9914 ) that gave a tutorial on how to fix the sound in sub command. I came across another link ( http://www.old-games.ru/forum/archiv...p/t-29184.html ) that directed me to links of the original sound files. I'm not sure if the one that came with the game had all the right sounds or not...

Anyhow, if you download the program from the second link above ( it's called scsoundedit.exe) and use it to open the sfx.agg file, then unzip those files into the Sfx folder, all the sound effects started working! However, if your sounds still dont work after that, you will have to download the file from the first link, overwrite your Sfx.agg file with the downloaded one, then unzip all the files using the scsoundedit program. Finally I can hear whats going on!

Hope it helps!

Tks krispy

I will test it these days once I get 688 back. It's been really annoying this sound problem and only 688 has this. Fleet Command is OK.

I used the utility to extract the sound files, and now I can hear them. My heartfelt thanks, especially since I just got sunk in Shells of Fury and need a new ride.

I'm a new member here. Sorry to bump an old thread.

I have this problem too. Unfortunately, the link to the SFX.AGG file is no longer active. I've searched, but found nothing. Anyone have a link I can get this file from?

Thank you

Please help. Thank you

I had the same no sound problem in 688i and SC and extracting the sound files fixed it. If anyone needs hosting of the sound file reply and I'll host it.

It looks like those links you provided are outdated. Question. Is there any other place on the net, including you or anyone here on this site that can provide me with the original Janes 688i SFX.AGG File? This is very important to me. Please help. email: nal2us2@yahoo.com
Thank you and God Bless.
