Hello. I recently set up Vavoom to work on my laptop running Vista Ultimate. It was running great, but after a few runs, the music has stopped working. This is the case with all WADs, Doom or otherwise. I did nothing to the settings and have no idea what happened. Any help would be appreciated. also, i tried to search but the strings music and sound were not permitted. sorry if this has been asked before.

I have similar issue on laptop with Vista (I quit bying MS stuff <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> ). After some time playing music begins to distort terribly, and slows down.

Windows Vista is known for it's changes to the sound system, and it's also very buggy, I would suggest you to download the MP3 music if you can, it's WAY better than old MIDI music <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->.

OK, I got the MP3s, now what? Does Vavoom natively support them? If so, named what? Or do I have to modify the WAD file? Thanks for all the help.

Yes, vavoom supports them natively, you have to download the Vavoom packaged MP3's from here: [url:3ls0q3go]http://vavoom-engine.com/download.php, then just extract the zip file to where you have vavoom installed, it should work without anything else <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->. Hope this helps you out.

Thank you for the link. I haven't had time to read it all yet, but the information looks very helpful.
