Good day everybody.
I'd like to ask for advice in this matter.
System: Windows 7, FF7 Steam version with FF7 Game Converter V0.11 applied (I copied the game over to C:\Games in the process) and also the latest Reunion mod applied (Retranslation, 60FPS Battles, faster enemy death and various game fixes).
Problem:
Initially I had 2 problems. Number one was that if I set the game to headphones it would play the music of the game in my headphones and throw out sound effects over my speakers.
I solved that issue by running FF7config (the application with the Chocobo icon) and RunFFVIIConfig in my installation folder both as an administrator and it works now.
Problem 2 is still not resolved. The sound cuts out during various cutscenes and aftermaths of said cutscenes. Examples I've encountered so far:
1. Mako Reactor 1: When fleeing from the scene the sound goes mute and I can't hear the explosion and lightning stuff. In the following scene where Avalanche sets up a bomb for their escape path and everybody jumps out and flames come out of the door, there's no sound either. Sound/Music picks up in the next screen where Cloud meets Aerith for the first time.
2. Airbuster fight: After beating the Airbuster and meeting president Shinra for the first time, the sound cuts out when the cutscene plays where Cloud falls down the bridge into Aerith flower bed.
3. Pillar fight: When Avalance fails to save Sector 5 and Barret finds a rope to swing out of harms way and President Shinra watches while listening to some classic music, the sound cuts out as well during the cutscene.
Now I've read a bit about this and it doesn't seem to be an uncommon problem with Windows 7 users trying to play FF7. Apparently Windows 7 doesn't have a MIDI channel or something and turns off all sounds instead during these cutscenes.
I haven't found a clear solution though so far.
Someone said you had to install a FF7music mod, so that the game wouldn't use the MIDI channel anymore and that would fix the problem.
Now I checked out the music mod and it isn't supported anymore because the author said that Aali's driver would do more of the same as his mod just better.
So I googled Aali's Driver and apparently it is already used in Reunion, so I don't understand why my sound still does not work properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I already made myself unpopular in the Reunion thread, I hope this time I found the right place to ask my questions xD
