Put "a" as command-line option to enable Adlib sound.
Ex. LOOM.EXE A
BTW. The music is by Tchaikovsky (or whatever is written)

You can also get Roland MT32 sound, but there's a patch on LucasArts' site you need to run it. I have the disk version, not the CD version and I got it to work. Unfortunately, my manual's long gone...

Darn. Pusher beat me to the punch. I was going to recommend that you grab the code for SoundBlaster support, hop into a Time Machine and give it to the original LOOM programmers...but as Pusher pointed out, it supports AdLib, not SoundBlaster.

BTW, VDMSound doesn't emulate the PC-Speaker (and never will).

The best version was the CD, which used only Redbook audio. Hard-to-find nowadays...*grumble*

You have no memory...Told you it's presently buried in a sister's friend's home...the one with the husband with the shotgun.

I never professed to have a memory, and I thought you got it back..?

Yes, it’s my fault.

No, I didn't. I did find my DIG soundtrack recently.
