Prince of Persia

I'll say it right here, at the beginning of this post: If you can't help, don't post!

So... As you might've guessed, I got a problem with my sound output. My speakers (both the external ones and the PC speaker) are working fine, but only MIDI files, when played, actually get sound. The rest is entirely quiet.

I have no clue how I did that - else I would've remedied it myself. It happened yesterday, completely out of the blue.

Anyone out there who knows how that stuff works? If you have questions to what I have set up, just feel free to ask, as long as it helps you to solve my problem. As I said, I'm completely at a loss.

so far as i understand : http://www.freeweb.hu/princepersia/en/pcsplay_dl.htm

hope it helps

No, it did not help. I clearly stated that MIDI and PC speaker output works fine. I don't need a PC Speaker player. See?

First of all, are you sure the audio player you're using is ok? Maybe it got corrupted somehow? Try uninstalling and reinstalling, or try something else.

If you can confirm that with any player only MIDIs work, then possibly something messed up your sound card driver. Open Device Manager and check the section titled "Sound, video and game controllers" or similar. Select the entries for your sound card one by one and delete them. So for example if you have on-board sound, you'll see entries for Realtek sound driver, or AC97 or similar, else if you have a Creative sound card installed, you'll see Creative's drivers. After deleting all of them, simply click the Refresh button on the toolbar, or restart your system. Windows should automatically reinstall the drivers for you, else you can reinstall them from the driver CD etc. If possible, you can also right-click the reinstalled drivers in Device Manager, select the Update driver option and check if an update is available on the net. Or you can manually check your motherboard/sound card manufacturer's page and download the latest drivers for your model and install those.

Do this and let me know if it worked.

Nevermind. I accidentially turned the wave volume to zero. But thanks for the tip anyway.
