The sound doesn't work for me in build 31. Note that it did work (at least the music did - not sure about the sound effects) in build 30.

If it's important, I can re-install build 30 and see if the sound effects work there.

For referrence, I'm running Win2000 on a laptop with some sort of in-built soundcard which may or may not be an ALi Audio Accelerator.

Oh, and whenever I start up DROD, DROD.err gets these lines appended to it:

This is what happened while initializing sound:
FMOD.DLL version is 3.62 and import library is 3.63!
FMOD Error #0: No errors

Well, Build 30 was completely silent, Mike and Erik admitted this was a fault when they compiled it. But all the sound is back on again for me in 31.

I had all those lines added to drod.err in Build 30. It seems you have the Build Numbers the wrong way round - I'm sure you haven't, but that would certainly make sense.

Nope. I'm definitely using build 31 now (it says so on the titlebar), and I was definitely using build 30 yesterday (31 wasn't even out), and I had sound yesterday and I don't now.

Weird. In fact it's the fact that sound did work in 30 for you that's weirder, because we were told it was disabled.

Maybe there are occult forces at work...

I just looked at the drod.err file you attached to the export crash thread - the error you got in build 30 was:

FMOD.DLL version is 3.63 and import library is 3.62!

The error I've gotten in build 31 was:

FMOD.DLL version is 3.62 and import library is 3.63!

So it's not exactly the same thing that happened to us over the two versions.

Oh...maybe you're using the upgrade installer instead of the full installer? (I installed the full thing and it's got the correct fmod.dll: go to the DROD/Data subdir, right click on the file -> Properties -> Version says it's 3.6.3) In any event, you can perform an easy fix by using the fmod.dll given with build 30.

If I understand correctly, there are two files which need to be of the same version - one of which is in the updater (the import library), and the other (FMOD.DLL) only in the full install.

The error in build 30 was that the import library wasn't upgraded, but FMOD.DLL was. So, if you had the full install you had a mismatch, ergo no sound, but using the updater you kept both old versions and it was ok. But the build 31 updater contained the new version of the import library, so the full install now is ok, but the updater causes a mismatch.
