Might and Magic VI MP3 Music

[sephirothalex]

Ok, so I've got the game installed, and the music isn't working, so I'm going to use mp3 versions of the songs (which I have) to hear them ingame. I've installed GrayFace's MM6 patch, which works wonderfully. However, even after following his instructions to use MP3 files, I still have no music. I created a Music folder within my Might and Magic VI folder and placed all of the mp3 files there. I then renamed all of the mp3 files in order, starting with 2.mp3 and up to 16.mp3. I then edited the mm6.ini and changed PlayMP3 to 1. Still, no music ingame. Help!

Everything is set to max, but no sound. DX

I have up to 20.mp3 (Exploration Theme 1 - 19). Aside from that I don't know what could possible be wrong here.

MMVI (with patch) worked perfectly for me about six months ago. Since then, my dvd/cd drive has stopped working. Now when I try to play it, there's no music (I play from an executable file, not the actual cd rom). So then I followed the directions to make the music folder with the mp3 files (2-16 and they're named correctly) and changed the MM6.ini folder to turn on the Playmp3. But still nothing! I have no idea what I could be missing. I've tried it with and without the audio.snd file that was also included with the mp3s, and all the music/sounds in game are maxed. If anyone can think of anything else, I'd appreciate it!

Are you sure you put the mp3s into the correct folder?

They came with the patch in one called sounds. (In my MM6 folder, there's the exe, the patch stuff including the .ini files, and three subfolders: Anims, Data, Sounds, the sounds is the one that originally held all those mp3s.) Since the Read Me specified putting it in a folder called Music, I also made a new folder of that name and placed them all there. I feel like I must be missing something really obvious...

Isn't it supposed to be in DataFiles or something?..

I don't know, but after restarting my computer, it works the way I had it! Woohoo! (yeah, I really ought to remember that that's important sometimes.)Anyway, thank you for your help. I'm off to try a new party combo.

Yea, I had the exact same thing happen to me, but it was a problem with input instead
