Does anyone have sound working?

When I'm using Angband, it doesn't even show up as a sound option in my sound mixer... and usually you can see those things there so you can enable sound or not for them in the OS, and change the volume.

It doesn't for me either, but it does work. I'm running Win 7 64-bit as well - although I have only tested in a virtual machine. This beats me.

I've tried to unpack the game on my C: drive (I usually play it on my flash drive so I can carry it around) and I also tried to put in the extra sounds in there, but no luck.

Sounds is enabled in the menu, but it's as if it doesn't give a shit.

My windows sounds work fine, my other game sounds work fine.

I just can't play anymore until I get sounds.. this silence thing is killin' me.

Things I've done to resolve:

* Turned on sound in options of Angband
* Downloaded sound drivers for my EVGA mobo
* Restarted my computer
* Ran the game in compatibility mode
* Ran the game with administrator rights

When I go into Angband, the option to use sound is set to "yes" always.
I was going to load it up, say no, exit the game, come back, then say yes and then see if it works... but when I come back to it and say yes, it's already at yes.

Some information that may help:

I can't get sound to work in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, either.

I downloaded the angband bundle with sound from:

http://chambrook.org/angband/soundfx.php

....and it didn't play any sound, either.


I'm starting to think it has something to do with the fact that I'm running 64bit of Windows 7.
I'm on an EVGA X58 mobo with on-board sound.. drivers updated to latest version.

I can launch the wav files just find and they'll play in windows no problem, but the game just won't utilize them.

Well I have Windows 7 64bit, and I have *NO* sound whatsoever for the game (windows sound works and other games work with sound).
I enabled the sound option in =, but doesn't work at all still.

I'd really like my sounds to work, and I'd like to know where you got your extended sounds. (I think I found some more sounds to add).

Sound works 'out of the box' with Angband 3.1.2 v2 on OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). I even downloaded an extended sound set and was unsure how they should be enabled, but to my surprise just dropping the sounds into the 'sound' folder automatatically enable all the extra sounds. They quickly became annoying though so went back to the standard sound setup.

It's fine for me in 3.1.2 v2 on Windows 7.

In latest V sound is an in-game option - first item on the interface option screen.

I've enabled this, but still no sound...

I had sound, of course, with ZangbandTK.. however, this one doesn't appear to have sound. I see it has a few sounds in it, but they don't work, even if I add "Sound=1" in the angband ini file.

Has anyone gotten sound to work? I would think it would be good to have, eh?

I'm in Windows 7 64bit.

I'd love to get all of ZangbandTK's sounds working in this latest version.
