Update: Setting up a Win98 virtual machine in PCem, and it also worked flawlessly just as the Win95 machine (Slot 1 mb w/ Celeron). I'm guessing, then, the problem must be a motherboard/chipset issue from the p4 era. Oh well.

Same thing regardless of the update. I've tried both ways. Interestingly enough. I launched a PCem virtual machine and installed Windows 95 and guess what? The sound worked correctly in JK...volume was controllable and the soundtrack was muted during the cantina sequence. Strange. Next step when I …

Just a quick update on this: I tested on multiple configurations, using a range of CD/DVD-ROM drives and all reproduced the same problem. Tried onboard sound, same thing. Audigy 2, 4, and Live!...same result. Really weird, but it almost seems like a Win98 thing, but I don't know of any more settings …

Glad I found this forum. Building a Win 98 machine and was testing with this game. As you may recall, the game used red book audio to play the soundtrack directly from the CD-rom drive, using an analog or digital cable connected to your sound card. This works fine using any IDE drive I hook up to my …
