Some installers were setting the music to off for some reason.
Run EU2 Config and set music on.
 
Missed the period, I thought he was confused when he mentioned 99 volume level. ;)

In that case make sure you do not have another app that is using the music pipeline.
 
Self help thread is at the top of this subforum. ;)
What other programs are running in the background?

Try playing the MP3 files from the EU2 CD directly, not through the game but just as music files. See if they work then. If so the problem is in EU2/DirectX, if not the problem is external.

"By the way, I can play the music files from their folder if that helps."

He said he had done that. :p
Got you back, and in the same thread :D
 
As for what to try next, I would reduce the sound acceleration to none and see if that works.
 
Only choice is to play them in Winamp in the background then. :(
 
All that does is reduce acceleration, which I had suggested.

However It occurs to me to ask petee, are you sure you have a legit copy, maybe someone scammed you. I find it strange you have a UBI version in NA. Did you get the complete manual and a printed CD? Which UBI version is it, who's the other logo on the CD?
