Is your music actually turned on?

yep the music is turned but there is no midi for the title screen or the levels, another thing that comes up is that the open GL is unsupport and that GL modes are unavailable could that have something to do with it.

[Daedolon]

The lacking music sounds like you either don't have a MIDI card chosen from the Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, or your MIDI volume is somewhy set to zero in the Windows Volume Control (run sndvol32 to check it).

[Mblackwell]

or he needs to run setup.exe and select a midi device

That too, it confused me last time I updated my sound card drivers and it had created a new MIDI device, took me awhile to figure it out.

[The Commander]

My best bet is the stupid Windows Media player turning the midi volume down to 0 in the volume control window after playing a midi in it.

Install OpenAL while you're at it.

thanks guys for all your help ive got it done now, i ran the sndvol32 and the sw synth was the only one that was down low so i turened it up and run eduke and the music and midi works, but now i have a new problem about saveing and loading, when iam in the game and make a load on a level and quit eduke and run eduke again the load file i made is not there, what do i need to do there.

[The Commander]

Please attach your "eduke32.log" file so we can have a better look at whats going on.
The file should be in the same folder as Eduke32.exe

ok how do you do that as i have no idea

[Alan]

Just go to the directory where you installed the game, open up the file eduke32.log with a program like Notepad and paste the contents into a reply here.

It's better to attach it as a .txt file or in a .zip so the thread does not turn into a mess.

[TerminX]

Log files (and CON files for that matter...) are valid attachment types now.

[duke92]

iam sorry but i don't understand how to do all that i don't have eduke32.log what i did was download eduke from the website and it came as a zip and in the zip file is no eduke32.log.

Because the eduke32.log is created AFTER you have run eduke32.exe

[duke92]

well when i run eduke32.exe eduke32.log is not created, can someone please give me a guide of how to run duke nukem 3d on eduke where you can save your settings, maybe ive gone wrong somewere, thanks.

I don't know why your games won't save, maybe the dir is read-only. This is interesting, however:

Setting video mode 1024x768 (32-bit windowed)
Unsupported OpenGL driver detected. GL modes will be unavailable. Use -forcegl to override.
Failure setting video mode 1024x768x32 windowed! Attempting safer mode...
Setting video mode 1024x768 (8-bit windowed)

Update your drivers.

If you are using 1.3 then some stuff in Duke Plus won't work. Simply select "None" as your game directory to play a normal game without it.
