M1VGA-CD missing some audio tracks

Description
when playing english monkey island 1 vga/cd version, some of the audio tracks aren't played. it doesn't matter if you let them play from cd or run them as ogg or mp3 files, the game misses always the same audio tracks. these include the scumm-bar music, meele island music, forest music, the one that should play right after guybrush walks outta the screen in the first scene, the "chapter 1" screen (which has the effect that this screen one blinks up for about 200ms), and presumably more. ScummVM 0.3.0b release binary zip for windows Built on Dec 6 2002 19:31:17 daily build (1227K exe file, last update: March 26, 2003, 5:08 pm) shows the same behavior.

here is an excerpt from the debugging messages (level 5), from the daily built mentioned above, when he shows the chapter screen
loadResource(Sound,108) ;-----------exiting the first screen----------- Loading room 96 loadResource(Room,96) loadResource(Sound,104) playSound #104 (room 96) File track6.mp3 not found File track6.ogg not found Track 6 not available in compressed format ;---------entering the dock----------- Loading room 33
so he complains that he can't find required audio files. but they are DEFINITIVELY there, with the right filename I tried everything. with/without read only flag, constant or variable bitrate, different encoders, nuttin works by the way, i get the same message when he should play them from cd. why should he complain about missing files when he should play cd tracks....?

It always checks for MP3 and OGG files first, even if the CD is in the drive.
Are you sure your files are called track6.mp3 or track6.ogg, and not track06.mp3 and track06.ogg or something like that? I'm asking because all of the tracks you mention not hearing are numbered below 10 while the intro music is track 17.
Apart from that, it's a bloody stupid question, but I've found it often pays to eliminate the simple but stupid possibilities first. :-)

*gg* exactly my thoughts but yes, the files are named correctly.
comment:6 by , 22 years ago
Then I'm out of ideas. As far as I can see, the "File track6.mp3 not found" message is only displayed if it fails to find a file called "track6.mp3" in the same directory as the rest of the data files. (Or in any subdirectory called "video", "data", "resource" or "voices".)
Whether or not the file is a valid MP3 or OGG file shouldn't matter at this stage.
And that still doesn't explain why playing the track from the CD fails.

right. well, I just tested 'till sneaking into the forest. I'll go for some more testing, using the cd. whatever, I have to rely on scummvm for monkey1 cuz it crashes in plain dos on startup, even with l2 and/or l1 cache disabled.

If monkey2 crashes in normal DOS; I recommend DOSBOX http://dosbox.zophar.net/ (but use their latest CVS not he last release, it's much better).
Anyway, maybe we could insert some printf() statements at strategic places to track the problem down. Also I wonder if anybody else has similiar problems...

I asked several people to test this, nobody could reproduce the problem. Closing
That's strange, it works flawlessly for me. At least with Ogg Vorbis files. My only suggestion would be to turn on debugging messages to see if they give any hints.
