No sound in Thief Gold or dromed game mode

Tannar on 24/10/2018 at 19:21

I currently have no sound in Thief Gold. It was fine last night, but not this morning. Nothing has changed that I can see in the interim. After some investigating I see that I don't have sound in Thief Gold at all, not even the original missions. I have two separate TG folders, one for the contest mission I'm working on, and the other just for playing. They were installed separately and at different times, and both worked fine until this morning. Now there is no sound in either. Thief 2 has sound, as do the other PC games I checked, and all other sounds on my computer work fine.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

what happens if you create a new TG install?

ZylonBane on 24/10/2018 at 21:35

Did you mute the Thief gold version of the EXE in the volume control?

Tannar on 24/10/2018 at 22:35

Thanks for the replies, guys.

@ Voodoo: I just got home so haven't had a chance to try a new install yet, but I will shortly.

@ZB: I assume by volume control you mean the mixer that comes with the windows volume control? TG isn't showing up there at all under "Applications", nor anywhere else that I can see. Running Windows 7 64-bit, btw.

I made a fresh install of TG and patched it to ND 1.26. It has sound. The others still don't. Don't know what could have happened that would have affected both other installs but not affect the new one.

well then, time to copy one of the broken installs somewhere and start dissecting and frankensteining in parts of the working one until the culprit file is found.

Please post cam.cfg and Thief2.log. Maybe it's some sort of Windows-doing-something-weird.

cam.cfg:

I assume you meant THIEF.log, since its TG:

@ZB: I assume by volume control you mean the mixer that comes with the windows volume control? TG isn't showing up there at all under "Applications", nor anywhere else that I can see.

Apps only show up in the mixer while they're running. Did you try it while Thief or DromEd was running? DromEd shows up in the mixer for me, Win7/64bit.

The command line points to "C:\games\20thAnniversary\Thief.exe" Anniversary\Thief.exe"

The resource path is

resname_base .\+C:\Games\TG\res
install path
install_path .\+C:\Games\TG

is that correct? Do the installations share the same resources?
