Hi guys. I bit the bullet today and installed FF7 again. All these spiffy-lookin' new mods forced me to do it. :3

Suprisingly, I didn't have much trouble getting everything working, but of course, FF7Music has to be the difficult child... Could someone please help me troubleshoot what's wrong? I've tried keyword searches and didn't come up with anything useful. If it's been posted about before, I apologise and would love to be pointed in that direction. Thanks. :)

Here are the details. I'm on Windows XP Home. My soundcard is an Audigy 2 ZS. Drivers fully up to date.

FF7Music version 1.51, being used in conjunction with Aali's driver version 0.7.8b.

Sound Plugins being used: in_vgmstream.dll (Input), out_wave.dll (Output).

Other patches currently applied: 1.02, Menu Reconstruction, Gjoerulv's Hardcore.

Sound effects and music both work; I'm using the OSTRE_Looping music pack and it's fantastic. The only problem I'm having now is, the music volume maxes itself out as soon as I load my save.

I've tried putting the volume setting of FF7Music all the way down to 40, and even setting my Wave volume control all the way down, but as soon as the game loads it's all like "HOLY SH-- I GOTTA PLAY MUSIC NOW YEEAAAAAAAHHHHH", and my headphones cry in pain... :(

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks for reading.
 
Try the out_ds.dll instead. It is the directsound driver.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, picking that driver makes the app spam errors about the device already being in use.
