jaguars4ever Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 On the TSL XBOX version, upon receiving LS/DS points, not only did you receive the LS/DS animation 'through the player character's body' (which you also get on the PC version), but you also got a really groovy LS/DS jingle to go with it! But alas, our beloved jingle has been axed for the PC version (or so it seems as I've yet to figure a way to get it to work). Someone please tell this isn't Obsidian being "lazy" again.
Darth Drabek Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 That's really too bad if the sounds were cut. The LS orchestra swell was one of my favorite things about TSL. That little "Luke staring into the suns of Tatooine" flourish connected the game with the (good) movies quite nicely. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
The man in the iron mask Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Are you referring to when, for example, you get DS points there's that reddish glow around the character's body and it plays a little tune that lends itself to the DS? If so, you do in fact get the tune on the PC. Both DS and LS. I've heard it many times. Live forever or die trying.

Are there special settings that our required?
Rambutaan Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Er it should be on by default? Shouldn't do... are you getting any other problems with sounds?
jaguars4ever Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 Er it should be on by default? Shouldn't do... are you getting any other problems with sounds? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No problems with sounds or graphics. I'm getting the little animation, but not the jingle.

It has to be sound card related - I mean I'm pretty sure there's no option in the menu that says turn certain sounds off... or maybe it has something to do with the 3D sound settings? I know that in some games (like Planescape Torment) when I have 3D surround settings on I can hardly hear what the characters are saying while background noise is extremely loud. Have you tried getting the latest sound drivers for your card? Are you using motherboard sound?

Gargantuan Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Tried disabling EAX and forcing software sound?
Gorth Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I don't know your soundcard, but does it have controls for hardware acceleration ? My old card did weird stuff with cinematics and cutscenes in various games (including the Fallout death scene) until I disable that in the cards control panel. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
jaguars4ever Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 Hmm, I've tried both Gorth's and Gargantuan's suggestions and stil no change. It's so weird...everything else is working fine, except those little jingles.
Buck Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 i get a sound when i get LS or DS points an i dont even have the music on
Jade Navarre Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I used to get it in the beginning, but no longer. It might be that the patch killed it - I didn't notice at the time, being distracted by the mouse pointer going invisible :ph34r:
jaguars4ever Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 i get a sound when i get LS or DS points an i dont even have the music on <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *acknowledges Buck's post* It obviously falls under the category of 'Suond Effects Volume' and not 'Music Volume' (as I naturally suspected). *turns up Sound Effects volume and nothing happens* *taps foot*
xtreme49 Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I also get it, although its hard to hear sometimes with the background noise.
Arclam Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 I get it in one of my games, When I switch to another character it is gone.
