Sound won't play even though init has it marked "SOUND:ON"
« on: February 14, 2009, 03:00:34 pm »

Hi, everyone. I just got dwarf fortress, and it seems great so far, except for the fact that the sound won't work. I'm using Mike Mayday's graphical download, and for some reason, when I download and play the vanilla DF on the official website, it has sound there.

I put SOUND:ON and VOLUME:255, so I don't see what I could be doing wrong here. Even pressing escape during the game leads to a greyed-out, unselectable options box.

Thanks for the help.

I feel like such a moron. I had it backwards. It was

SOUND:255
VOUME:ON

I hope I didn't waste any space. Someone should lock or delete this thread.

You can edit the original post to change the thread title to something helpful like "Solved, please ignore."
