Gramophone and radio problem

Tshark · 08-31-15, 02:25 PM

I just started playing SH4 and have run into a problem with the gramophone and radio. On the gramophone it will only play two songs (the fourth and fifth track). The rest of the time it only plays the "needle static". On the radio I can receive nothing on the "Washington" channel. On the CBS channel it will only play the same song once then goes silent. I have checked the sound files in the data/sound/gramophone and radio directories. The sound files appear intact and play fine using Windows media player. All other sounds in the simulation appear to be working correctly. It does not seem to matter if I am in a training scenario or in career mode. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help and this fantastic website!

Thank you gentlemen. I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying SH4. I played SH3 many years ago and thought it was okay. I really prefer the Pacific theater (flight sims and naval sims). With SH3 I just didn't have the time to learn manual targeting, but now I have more time and I am loving the complexity of the subject. I miss the old days of computer sims that came with a hefty manual (Silent Service, Red Storm Rising, Great Naval Battles), but forums like this make up for it with the personalities of fellow enthusiasts and the ability to modify/personalize the sim.

I found the solution to my problem. I had an old SBAudigy installed. I had done this a while back to avoid any "RealTek" problems with the motherboard onboard sound and to free up the CPU. While I have had no problems with other games (including some with voice communication) I decided to remove the circa 2004 board and let the 2013 motherboard do its thing. Everything works great now and I keep discovering new sounds in SH4 that I didn't know it had!
