Are you sure your OEM version has CDA at all?
The retail version have 10 CDA tracks.

To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure. Is there anything I should be looking for specifically? Here's the contents of the disk1 folder in the iso

I have searched the disc's contents quite a bit and I don't see anything indicating CDA files, or audio files in general for that matter.

I also noticed that the folder is titled 'disk1' ... Perhaps a second disc contains the music files? If so, I definitely don't have that.

Open the disc with some audio player/ripper.

Foobar doesn't recognize it as a media disc, and so ripping or playing options are unavailable. The same case with Winamp.

As far as I can see, there aren't any audio files on the disc outside of the game data sounds in the .cab files, presumably.

The game uses CDDA. Your copy is faulty.

There is your problem. ISOs do not contain CDA tracks. Make a BIN/CUE pair of you original CD or just use your original disc to play the game.

Despite this, when I launch the game via the disc itself, the music and everything works completely fine.

So, there is actually audio files. The only way I can get the game to work completely 100% is if I launch it through the disc. Is there any way around this?

You need to actually respond to this and tell us if you're using a bin/cue or a iso. Because a iso will not work. Making sure you're using a bin/cue and not a iso is the first step.

We can't help your or magically guess what else is wrong before you do that first step.

A .ccd, .sub and .img file

I won't be able to rip the disc myself, as I no longer have access it. This is just a downloaded copy. The game runs fine with music if I launch it via the mounted disc itself.

Run the attached program and print the CDA track number here.
For both the original cd and the mounted cd-image.

So the problem is with your installation? Have you tried to see what it does if you start it without patching it?

Abandonware is not supported here. You need to get a legal copy. I suspect that a mod will be locking this thread.

Ah, this helped! Thank you. The game works perfectly now. No issues!

I understand that piracy may be against the rules, but I'm not asking where I can pirate it. I'm asking in hopes of finding a solution to a problem that anybody with the game could have - legitimately or otherwise.

However, by all means let this thread be locked, as my issue has been resolved 😉
