Correct, and that is all that is there. Only one.

Okay, I found the wierdest of solutions/workarounds: Apparently, EVERY time I start a new level, reload a new game save, or just about any time I leave the current level for another, I have to go into the sound and music option menu and enable CD music without CD in the drive, it'll tell me that it ...

Just checked the config file. its always been like that it seems. So yes, that line IS in the config file. Still no dice.

Yeah, in that case, it would be going from 'less' to 'more'. But going back from XL would be harder to do and normally not advisable.

Finally got back around to this, did what you said, installed the hi-res sounds and configured the ini file for hi-res sounds -> 1. And still same problem. I can adjust the music/sound sliders and HEAR differences in volume. But once the actual game starts...silence. Urgh!

Yes I have Hi-res Sound to 0 in the config file. In the menu, I can alter music and sound fx freely and HEAR the changes. But once I start up a level or game, its silence. But if I exit out to the menu again, I get my sound back. What is going on?

so whatever happened to this?

yeah... if I had known that, I would have played with the DOSBOX version of Descent...oh well. I was thinking of you anyway Diedel with this!

well...it was a cool thought anyway!

apparently there is a problem. Don't get mad, I 'did' record the demo with F5 in Rebirth. (waits for screaming to subside) But I was 'hoping' I could just open up d2x-xl, open up the demo and voila, it'd be able to be played in there with all graphical enhancements intact. Would make for a GREAT vid...

shame, I was going to do an awesome comparison demo video:
Like this is how it is prior to D2X-XL: and this is how it is WITH D2X-XL. SHBAM!
Would have been an awesome advertisement video. Oh well, I'll upload what I have then. Thanks anyway.

Question: Are demos not made with d2x-xl not compatible? Because I made a demo in another Descent variant and tried running it in XL to see how it would look with graphical effects, but it just wouldn't open it at all, even when I had the proper level in the missions folder on which the demo was bas...

Okay, I have a new descent2.ham embedded into a hog file, but even with 'enable custom weapons' and 'enable mods' it doesn't recognize that the mod is even in the hog file, what now?

Yes and no cigar.

well from what I can tell, it IS a intel, onboard sound driver. Came factory installed into the laptop.
