Daphne - Sound initialization failed! - Help

[jec993]

i know some of you are able to run Daphne and i was hoping you could help me out.

i'm trying to get dragons lair to run properly and it keeps telling me "Sound initialization failed!". That's as informative as it gets, both on the screen and in the daphne_log.txt.

this is with launching dragons lair with DaphneLoader. i'll worry about getting it to run with my proper frontend later.

if i disable sound in daphneloader, the game runs and plays fine, just without sound.

any of you guys got any tips and pointers on what i need to change to get the sound to work?

i've searched the daphne forums and came up empty.

thanks,

That will happen if you do not have the samples in the sound folder. Make sure they are there, you should have got them in the downloaded zip. Which version are you running?

Are you sure it is 99.6? You have the samples for dragons lair 2, which are only in the CVS. Also, this was a problem for DL2 in the CVS until recently. Is it Dragons lair you are trying to run or DL2?

THANK YOU!

i am running 0.99.6 but somehow i had sounds that were from a different (newer?) version. i have no memory of where those other samples came from.
i just renamed my sounds directory, copied the sounds dir out of the daphne zip and things are now running great.

just curious, is there a running changelog for what is changed from 0.99.6 and what you can get from a pull from CVS?

again, thank you very much for your help.
