I'm facing some problem with getting CD audio to work with a couple of games in Win98. I have bin/cue images for Tomb Raider and Carmageddon - mounted images via Daemon Tools (also tried with MagicISO). Both games detect the sound card (port 220, IRQ 5, DMA 1) successfully and the inbuilt "test sound" features play the sound properly. The physical CD drive letter is H: (physical CD drive doesn't have an audio jack, sadly), and the virtual CD drive letter is I:.
Trouble is, that after installing both games and running them, the cutscenes play the sound properly and the sound effects (like car engine or gunshots) work fine, but there is no menu music and no in-game music. I've made sure that the CD audio volume is full in Win sound control panel, and also in multimedia properties the CD audio drive is set to I:.
I've read other threads about it, for example this one: Windows 98SE + Virtual CD Software + CD Audio. I understand others also face issue with mixed mode CDs - ideally the CD audio plays directly from the CD drive and other audio like sound effects are routed through the sound card. But I think many others have managed to get all audio working with a single sound card and virtual CD drive.
I'd be super grateful if anyone can help out with this. Anything I've missed in terms of whatever steps I've taken above?
