Retro games have no sound or music

[ThreeSon]

Deja Vu and Shadowgate Classic are totally silent. Is that also how they were in the original releases?

I get sound effects (doors opening, banshee scream, etc), but no music. I'm told that the original Mac games had no music.

Ok thank you. I may not have played enough to hear any effects yet.

You should get a sound effect pretty much right away: as soon as you open the first door. If you don't, check the "Apple/Adjust Volume..." menu item in the game.

Also, Win7 (I think since Vista) has a sound mixer that allows per-application volume - you might need to check that if you don't have the main volume turned down/muted. Open the volume control by double-clicking on it in the tray, then click "Mixer". Scroll until you see the "Retro Shadowgate" volume.

Sound effects, and that was it, death music and the music that played during the credits segment.
