The Games and other Sierra Adventure stuff / MTBLAST.DRV and SQ3 volume control
« on: February 27, 2022, 01:41:24 AM »
When MTBLAST.DRV or MT32.DRV are used with Space Quest III game version 1.018, the menu options for toggling sound on/off and changing volume are enabled, but they have no effect on the game audio. It always stays on and at constant volume. Switch back to SNDBLAST.DRV and the sound controls work fine.
Is there an updated interpreter or sound driver that would make the controls work? Seems odd that MT-32 would be supported, but the menu options are non-functional. If it's expected behavior I'd just like to know.
Also, the music I'm getting through MUNT doesn't sound as good as some of the youtube SQ3 MT-32 videos I'm comparing against. Is there anything I can do to get better results? Ideally, I'd like to keep the digital audio sample from the intro cutscene working as well.
