CAOTD sound init fix

[Krabb]

This (hopefully) fixes the "Unable to Initialize Sound/FX" error, preventing the game from starting. Now it should start, and with sounds and music as well!

Patch was tested on Linux via Wine, and Windows 7 (requires Windows 95 compatibility and 256-colors mode).

For those curious it was just some redundant check of MIDI devices. I didn't even bother to understand what exactly it did, but it seems the game works better without it. :)

INSTALLATION


Unpack the patch archive into the game folder, so patch.cmd and the sound_init_fix folder are in the same place as aodcd.exe.
Launch patch.cmd.
Now you can start the game (you can remove the files unpacked earlier).

Wow, nice thanks :up:

Does it work for you Hitman?

I repaired my laptop with Win 7, and tried the patch. It works! Had to set Win 95 compatibility and 256-colors mode (for non-black scope and UZO interfaces mainly). Updated the first post with new info.
