Music stops playing Bug!

[shakanvain]

Every Time playing for 30 Minutes, the Music stops playing on an Asus Xonar D2X. Have to restart the Game for fixing this! Anyone else got this Problem?

While I don't currently own the steam version I had this issue in the original PC release version with the un-official English patch and was waiting to see if the bug would still be in this version. If I remember correctly it was a fairly common bug with the old version whether you had patched it in some way or not. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't fixed as when I asked about it after the XSEED version was announced I didn't hear back from them.

Let´s hope they fix it! ^_^ Today they released a 4 MB Patch, but there is no Info about the Fixes they made...

Out of curiosity, what kind of sound card do you have? An Asus Xonar perhaps? Falcom games seem to hate that card, as I found out personally. (I had this issue with Ys Origin, Oath in Felghana and Trails in the Sky also gave me grief)

Yes i own an Asus Xonar D2X... Sounds like bad News. Btw. today they released another Patch with 4 MBs.

Figured as much. I have an Asus Xonar myself and I've had sound issues with all other 3d Falcom games that XSeed has released on here. I've reported it, but they probably don't have a system with that card at XSeed, so it's difficult for them to address it. The way to bypass it is, in my own experience, to simply use your on-board card. If it's disabled by default, you have to enter your computer's BIOS setup to manually enable it. As far as I've experienced, the Xonar doesn't give any conflicts when the on-board soundcard is enabled.

After it's enabled, you can plug your speakers into the on-board card's output and your system should automatically switch to your on-board card. (if it doesn't, you can manually disable the Xonar in the hardware manager) It may be a pain to unplug and switch your speaker cable each time you play a Falcom game, but whenever I use my on-board card while playing Ys or Trails, I have zero issues while I used to have them all the time. Give it a try and maybe it works for you too.

Thanks for the Help! ^_^ I appreciate it! It worked for me!

Sorry about the necro, I'm posting this also for my own reference :) I still own a Xonar, and I still dig Ys. I ran into this issue in the past, fixed it somehow, and now ran into it again. Reading your post and how it was an issue with Xonar made the solution float back into my head (besides switching soundcards), so here it is :

In the Xonar DGC Center, disable both DSPs (bottom right). Meaning click the HF & GX buttons so they're grey, not green.

It's certainly too late to help you, but it may help someone else !
