If you're using the VDMS Launchpad, you can configure the .VLP file to enable low-level CD-ROM/MSCDEX support in the Advanced Properties.

Hi

I downloaded Launcher and did as was suggested, which is to enable the low level cd support. I didn't get the error msg, but I still don't get any sounds at all.

I tried downloading the SAPUCDEX but I don't seem to know how to use it. Can anyone advise what I can do next?

Thanks.

To use it you must put a command-line in the autoexec.bat section of VDMSound properties sheet for that particular game. But you have to disable mscdex support first. The two of them cannot be running at the same time.

Before you try SAPUCDEX, make sure that you can play audio CDs using Media Player of some other CD-player software.

If this works ok, then take a look at the properties for you CD-ROM drive: go to Control Panel, System, Hardware tab, click on Device Manager, locate your CD-ROM drive under DVD/CD-ROM Drives, right-click on it and select Properties.
In the Properties tab there is a setting called "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM drive". From a previous reports in other threads, in some computers you have to enable this to get music played from game CDs, in others (like mine) you have to turn it off, so change it and try to play your game again.
