Hi guys I've been having a problem with the FF7 music patch, I installed it fine and the music works perfectly but after a few mins(about 10 to 15) of gameplay the out_wave.dll crashes and stops responding so the music won't play which forces me to find the nearest save point(which as most of you know can sometimes take a long time) and quit with is really annoying. It's impossible to play the game properly like this and I don't want to go back to the original music because the quality sucks, so if anyone has had this problem or is just very computer savey could they please help me.
 
Do you have Winamp? If so, grab its out_ds.dll and try using that instead.
 
I just remembered, current versions of out_wave and out_ds don't work with FF7Music anyway.

Here's a version that should work:

Scroll down and find out_ds.dll: DirectSound Output 2.2.7, it should be under the Winamp2 Files section.
 
No problem. I've updated my tutorial to come with out_ds.dll as a backup for people who are having trouble.

out_wave.dll is still recommended for people who aren't having problems with it, because it's faster.

Cool, also while I have you, I've been having trouble with my wind.wav. In some parts of the game I'd get an error message saying "cannot read c:\users\blahblahblah\wind.wav etc at the bottom of the page and the wind sound effect wouldn't play which I can live with but when I'm in the dessert prison and I confront the other guy with the gunarm(his name escapes me)  in which I get the same error message but the wind effect is playing for about 30 second and then the game runs extremly slowly. Since you fixed my last problem I hope you can fix this one too.
 
This problem has nothing to do with FF7Music, it is actually an issue with Aali's custom graphics driver. Supposedly, using an older version should fix it, but I haven't tested that.

How old of a version do I have to use because I'd hate to f.up my game because I installed a buggy old version
 
Can't remember. I wanna say it was 0.6.2b, but I'm not positive. A number of members here probably know.

Ok I tried using that version but the game crashed before the start menu so I reinstalled the newest one but now for some reason the direct sound output I used all yesterday and earlier today won't work and gives me this error message when I load my saved file

error setting directsound cooperative level, please shutdown other programs using your sound card

Is this because of me using that version or is it something else
 
I don't know. Changing versions of Aali's driver really shouldn't cause that. You could try restarting your computer, that's about all I can think of.

Nope that didn't work, damn every time I fix one problem another one pops up and I was so happy yesterday when I thought I'd fixed it

Ok so I've fixed the wind problem but my out wave still isn't working and I discover that the out_ds.dll: DirectSound Output 2.2.7, never accually worked because I had the # still in place and it was the regular music that was playing so I'm back to square one
