aidenpons Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So for some reason I don't understand I rebooted up Lego Alpha team. It runs well on Windows 10 diskless (as per this)... but there's no sound. Yes, my speakers are on and they're working fine for everything that isn't Lego Alpha Team. Also using the in-game menu, the volume sliders are set to 100%. What's also odd is that in the Volume Mixer, Lego Alpha Team doesn't show up at all.

DRY1994 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You said that you're doing it diskless. Have you tried it with the disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With or without diskless modifications I still have no sound. Disk in, Diskless -> no sound Disk in, Disc needed -> no sound Disk out, Diskless -> no sound Disk out, Disc needed -> won't start, obviously DRY1994 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHelp Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I just managed to fix this by running the LEGOATeam application in compatibility mode. You get it by going: Program files\Lego Media\Games\LEGO Alpha Team. Right click LEGOATeam.exe and choose properties. Under compatibility, tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and I chose "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" PS: Looks like loads of us are trying to get this old beauty up and running again!

Taking admin rights off it, leaving it with XP SP2 only, didn't change anything. oh and please move your game directory out of Program Files before Windows 10 decides that you can't edit anything in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Having entertained the potential solution that a reinstall might fix it, it turns out that the installer won't run at all. It wants to install DirectX 7, complains it can't because it is "not supported on this version of windows," and without any grace crashes to desktop. I can't open data2.cab with Universal Extractor, as it complains it can't find data2.hdr . I can open data1.cab, presumably because there's a data1.hdr file that I also copied off and magically made the installer run. There's also no Alpha Team in the alternate installers that le717 has made. Oddly the game runs fine (aside from no sound), so evidently whatever DirectX is doing is working. Another useful tidbit is that the readme mentions, among other things, this fix for sound issues: 5. Try adjusting your Read-ahead optimization. a. Right-click on "My Computer" located on your desktop and select "Properties". b. Within the "System Properties" dialog box, select the "Performance" tab. c. Click on the "File System" button. d. Within the "File System Properties" dialog box, adjust your Read-ahead optimization to the "None" setting. e. Click on "OK" and restart your computer for the changes to take effect. except I can't find the System Properties box, even less so the Read-Ahead Optimization; I can't find anything useful on those two with a little googling.
