I recently build a new retro machine and encountered a very strange sound problem with Rayman 1.
When I run the game as soon as I enter the main menu, the PC speaker constantly produces buzzing noise.
It almost sounds like an old harddrive on read access and it does that through the entire game until I exit to Windows.
The system:
ASUS SP97-V (latest patches BIOS)
Intel Pentium MMX 233
64MB RAM
S3 ViRGE/DX 4MB + Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo 1
Sound Blaster 16 CT2230
Windows 98SE
Things that I already discovered:
- Rayman 1 v1.0, v1.12, v1.20 are all affected - Tried them with the original CD, BIN/CUE and even with NoCD patches.
- Activating or deactivating the music in the options menu does not resolve the problem.
- Running the game under DOS reduces the amount of buzzing noises, but they are still there.
- Changing the soundcard does not resolve the problem.
- Changing the sound driver does not resolve the problem.
- Changing the PC Speaker on the mainboard does not resolve the problem.
- The PC speaker works perfectly fine with other games.
- Rayman 1.0 NoCD works fine when I copy the folder to my other retro rig (P5A, K6-III+, Windows 98SE).
So, I am completely out of ideas here and would love to hear your suggestions.
