No sound 688i

[krispy]

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 Unfortunately, the link to the SFX.AGG file is no longer active.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

Do you have the original 688i SFX.AGG File that I can get a hold of?
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.

More mirrors are always welcome.

scsoundedit.exe appears to be hosted here (search the page for scsoundedit):

Note that a number of Dangerous Waters mods require this file.

It looks like those links you provided are outdated.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.
