Hey guys, was to ask if we solve the little problem of the same Combat Theme to be heard the other 2.
I've been reading what I allowed my knowledge of English and I've seen you working to improve the gaming experience, improving sound quality. I saw the post about changing some files from WIN32. But I'm somewhat afraid to do it for spoiling something important and not really to improve by listening to the melodies. Anyway, this post has helped me save a few of the classic tunes in MP3. I'll be waiting if someday be integrated into any patch EQproject1999 improvements mp3 classical music (the problem of W7 and MIDI support as you say) and enjoy 100% of what was the EQ which both enjoyment that time ^ ^. Good job[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

After a great deal of searching, I have found what seems to be a solution to the classic music problem. EQ shipped, as most of you know, with a pair of soundfonts to be used with older soundfont capable MIDI synths in older cards (AWE32/64, etc). Someone has taken these two soundfonts and combined them (they are not "complete" as they are, some instruments do not work) with a generic soundfont to produce one that sounds pretty similar to how it did in 99 (making your own soundfont using the two that shipped with EQ and, say, the base sondfont from a SB AWE64 might be a better solution). Anyway to get it to work with Windows (which is not natively compatible with soundfonts) you need a soundfont capable MIDI device. The software synth "BASSMIDI" can accomplish this.
Go here: http://bassmididrv.mudlord.info/#bas...riverdownloads Click "Download BASSMIDI driver" Install it. It will put a program in your start menu called "Configure Software Synth" under "BASSMIDI Synth" Download this soundfont (or make one): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G8WFWXUA In the "Configure Software Synth" tool click "Add" then navigate to the soundfont and select it Make sure that "BASSMIDI Driver" is selected under the "Advanced" tab (i.e., not "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" You should be set. I forgot if it required a reboot, but run EQ and see how it sounds. | ||

Windows XP FTW
Hey guys. I was sick of hearing the crap music Windows 7 spits out. After reading this thread I dug out an old Audigy card and after a bunch of tinkering I got it to work again. I installed XP on an empty partition and got the Audigy drivers and software working and downloaded a couple soundfonts. I posted a video on youtube with the results.
Let me know what ya think. | ||

Edit: Seems like just using one of the AWE64 soundfonts has everything working. Hurray!

I just don't understand why Microsoft has regressed audio in Windows in such a way. Even Apple's Garageband is a MIDI sequencer as much as it is a recording audio tracker. I'm going to through my Soundblaster 16 in next and see what happens. Even though I know the music is going to be flat (the Audigy did indeed do chorus and reverb like someone else was talking about above about the AWE cards) I wouldn't be surprised if its better than Microsoft's wavetable. | |||

This solution works for me. Enjoying kickass music in EQ (Live, but should make no difference) right now at the Qeynos docks. | ||
