No music on Diablo 2 LOD during game play

[Mancora]

I dont have music when im playing LOD, i have music when im outside and in the menus, but not when im playing. Needless to say it makes the game a fair amount more borring :[

win2k OS

and i think thats everything


oh, and i am running the current version of LOD

[Mancora]

oh, and i do have teh most current version of my sound card driver

[_TweeK_]

what version of DirectX are you running?

Do you have the latest drivers for your sound card? I have heard quite a few sob stories in regards to the Santa Cruz cards, maybe the latest driver will help.

Im using directx 8.1

Have you tried re-installind Diablo 2?

(it will ask you when you uninstall if you'd like to delete your savegames, so you can use them again when you reinstall)

[Mancora]

yes i have uninstalled then installed again

Hmm, have you tried contacting blizzard's tech support yet?

[Mancora]

I was leaving htat for last, though i broke down and called the a while ago.

30mins onl hold with really bad music and counting

Just for fun check if your CD-ROM drive is connected to your soundcard

Wicked OLD thread but neway... Ok, you have music on main title screen which means your disc is spinning and your hardware has no problem reading the data from the disc. DURING the game is different as there is specifically "no music" during gameplay which, to me, implies that sfx are working.

To turn music 'on' simply press 'Esc' during the game and click 'Options' then choose 'Sound Options'. You should now see two bars 'Sound' and 'Music' at the top of the screen... Odds are that your sound bar skull is all the way to the left. I couldn't tell you why this happens but it does and it does it automatically and it's very frustrating.

Dredging up 5 1/2 year old posts on games rarely played anymore is just WRONG.

Just logged into D2:LoD. "52,928 users online" Nowhere near 8-9 million WoW users (still can't believe ppl pay monthly to play--let alone how much--$15?! R U kidding!?! Monthly?!?!!?!?) but it's not exactly "rarely played anymore" either. Over 50,000 people---yes, people still play/use it and they do have relevant issues with it (that are worthy of being resolved) just like most any game software.

Sorry, a bit late, but yeah, I'm still having this same problem with D2. Any ideas?
