Ok guys at first I thought this was a coincidence but I dont think so anymore. I would like your posts because I would like to know if I am the only person with this problem. I got a copy of raiden in which the music didnt work but sound affects and play was fine. No problems any where else. I just got a copy of wolfenstein 3d and the music didnt work on it either. I even didnt the music code which is fun because I like the music but nothing played. Fyi thats when you hit the # button when the wolfenstein ball shows up in the beggining. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I would think so but I wanna see what the AA community has to say. I wonder if I could fix this maybe its a bad pin or something.

Press the '0' button on the keypad -- this toggles music on and off in most games.
If that doesn't work, check that the music volume hasn't been set to zero (check the game's manual to see how to access it).

[greencoman]

Yeah I did "0" button thing didnt work. I could try the options I thought I had looked. I didnt think a game would save it if you had the music turned off but thats possible.

Same thing happened with my Atari Karts... I bought it, and the old owner had the SFX turned off. I had to go in and turn it all back on again

Yeah, your sound settings save.

I had a Raiden cart that had the same problem, and was unable to adjust the volume or turn it on or off. Resetting the cart's NVRAM should do the trick, although it will wipe out all of your high scores. Press the Option # and * buttons simultaneously to reset the memory.

thanks guys I will do this. I feel like an idiot about all of it. Guess I am so used to music and never having it turned off I would have never guess no one would have turned it off and save it that way. Thats the best part about wolfenstein the music. Thanks alot guys.

No reason to feel like an idiot. I think the problem with Raiden may be a glitch or bug in the game code, as I've heard of it happening more than once and experienced it myself without having done anything wittingly to cause it.

[greencoman]

thanks for your input sauron. Well i guess i figure it should have been a simple solution. But hey live and learn. I always assume the worst.

[greencoman]

Thanks guys Sauron I tried your advice and it worked fine on the wolfenstein game. I will try it out on raiden game and I am assuming it will work ok then.

[Jibbajaba]

I was having the same problem, and was able to fix it thanks to your tip, so thanks Sauron.

Primal Rage on the Jaguar CD have music during fights ?

[doctorclu]

I can't get the Doom level music to play.

[greencoman]

It is a good thing I asked I always assume the worst. Now that I know that the Jag saves it settings I can inform others as well.

That game did not include music on the jaguar-version

Hence the j/k further down

[Mark T]

Do all Jaguar games save the sound settings or is it a certain few that save the settings?

[greencoman]

As far as I know they all do which which is the impression I got from Sauron. Unless someone here knows differently that would be if maybe that particular game does not save at all.

[CrazyChris]

Killing deranged mutants from hell is more realistic without music...

Anyway, I thought the sound issue with Raiden was interesting.
Thanks for bringing it up.

Interesting topic.


Just received a boxed copy of Raiden and found the music was muted. Pressing 0 on the keypad unmuted it.

However, if you press the Pause button and Press A to access the Music volume control, if the audio is muted, this won't allow you to unmute the audio and raise the volume. Kind of an odd design decision. So if someone doesn't know to press the 0 keypad button, they may think their cart is defective since the music bar won't adjust.


Also whats weird is that most of the used Jag games I have bought lately have either had the music (and sometimes sound effects) turned all the way down or muted.
