vice city- radio stations adf

[devin]

hi,
i've got vice city for the pc. and when i go through the radio stations,
the music does not play. but when i look in the audio folder, the music is
there, but as an '.adf' file.

how can i get around this? can i download the music, as an mp3 format, and
then rename them as radio stations. would this work?

any help/ advice is appreciated.

thanx
devin:(

hmm. this is odd.

What size files are the ADF files? if they are too small, you probably need to re-install.

OR : go into options > audio and put music volume up

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

the adf files are all around the 40 megs

[Colonel V]

ok so you have the files, so have you done the volume thing?

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

yeh its all the way up n there isnt anything rong with my sound card cos the mp3 station and the engine noises etc... all work

[Colonel V]

try re-installing. the files may be corrupted. maybe...start>programs>accessories>entertainment>volume control. makesure nothing is muted and everything is at full.

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

nothins muted but ill try re installin thanx ill post another msg on here 2 let u no if it worked

thanx

[Colonel V]

ok cool...im seriously running out of ideas so i hope it works...

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

lol dint work n e other ideas?? lol the cut screen bit aint really a problem cos ive dun all the missions now lol but the radio wood b nice

[Colonel V]

possibly upgrade your soundcard drivers

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

have the most up to date 1's all the other sounds work like the engine noises and wen tommy calls people morons lol

[Colonel V]

lol, aww sorry, im out of ideas. ill re-post if anything comes to me.

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

ok thanx ne way

[Zidane]

Well if your game is store bought re-install it... Again. or mess with your in game audio settings. Make sure the music is installed on your hard drive.

[FERRET]

did u install the radio?

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

i have re-installed it and it lol and it still wont work

how do i check its installed on my HD?

[W0mbat]

when u installed vc, did you tick the "Install Vice City Radio" box?

Otherwise, your audio card might not support .adf (or something)

And, the cutscene sounds have nothing to do with .adf

To check if your video card works, go to Options, and see if it is possible to click on "Audio Options" if not, your sound is not detected/supported. If you can, configure the audio options to make it work.

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

i can go on audio options and ive had a go at different settings and i still cant get the radio stations. My sound card is definatly supported cos i can hear the city sounds, engine noises etc, i can also use the mp3 radio station and i did tick the install vc radio box

[Colonel V]

i think your sound card is faulty, if it plays some sounds and doesn't play others.

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

ok thanx ill try another my old sound card and c if it works with that
it it dnt ill just stick with the mp3 player lol

thanx 4 all ur help

[Colonel V]

no problem mate. BTW you might need a completely new soundcard, just to be on the safe side :p

I had the same problem with the audio missing from the cut-scenes and with the radio not playing as it should. I have found a solution for my problem. Since the game automatically detects your sound hardware, in my case a SB Audigy card, it is set as the default device. I changed the following while in the in-game settings:

Options->Audio Setup->Audio Hardware->RAD Game Tool RSX 3D Audio

When set to Creative Audigy EAX or Creative Audigy EAX 3 there would be no sound from the music playing. Experiment with your audio settings and see what works for you! There is even a Software Emulation setting.

thanx guerilla i havent tryied that yet cos i messd up my game modding (agen) lol so wen i get round 2 re-installin all mess around with the settings and stuff

[james]

on the options menu, on audio options is the sound for music on full?

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

@ james : yes it is
@ guerilla : I re-installed and messed around with those settings , tried every setting in every combination and still no luck

[BFGuerrilla]

Oh yeah:

Check your Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices->Audio tab to be sure that your sound card is selected as your Default device. If I encounter a different solution I will surely post it! :D

Ok, hey, ummm, this might not help but...
I downloaded this tool and it converts .adf files into .mp3 formats so it's really cool you can listen to the radio stations even when you're not in-game, you can listen to them in Windows media player (or wutever your prefered program is, since most support .mp3 files) so yeah, it's a pretty cool tool

I forgot the site where I got it from, but i found this one instead: http://www.zone.ee/realgtavc/Programs.htm
Look for "MP3 to ADF to MP3 Converter 1.0", it should be useful...and fun

SHIT SORRY, THE SITE DOESN'T WORK, BUT YOU CAN STILL TRY

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

Thanx Darkon X I found that program sumwhere else and when I converted the ADF files into mp3 files it said that it was the file format didnt match something do u want 2 try 2 play the file any way? so i clicked OK and it came up with a thing saying the file couldnt be played :confused:
