Missing music in slow motion mode

**Filius** · October 04, 2011, 12:46 PM

Not a bug or a technical issue actually. It´s just that little feature I´m missing (since the recent update/patch, that is).
Is there anyone knowing how to get the music back (if it is possible anyway)?

Sorry for repeating myself and opening up a topic on this but maybe I´m getting the one or other good hint.

Hasn't it always been this way? No music or sound in slo-mo because it wouldn't synch correctly with the animations...

No!
It´s just about the music.
Otherwise I wouldn´t be missing it.
Whereas in pause mode the music had always been turned off, as far as I can remember, at least I had the music going on in slow mode.
Didn´t expect that this circumstance as itself could have been a bug anyway.

Would be the first bug I wished back though...

But you´re right concerning the battle sounds - they´ve been always turned off. I dont´t know why.
It did work in medieval 2 despite of movement and sound discrepancies (and I liked it a lot, nonetheless - it was great). But maybe it´s another coding level in shogun 2 which makes it impossible to let the battlesound go on.

Post your dxdiag.

There it is.
Just to keep in mind...I´m writing about missing sound/ music in slow motion mode...
Otherwise it works perfectly.

Try updating the High Definition Audio codecs at www.realtek.com.tw.

Have you checked your ingame sound options?

**Filius** · October 05, 2011, 11:27 AM

Yes, I have.
I´ve been doing some testing there.
Checked my hardware profile - the drivers already got the latest updates.

What about your experience, Ron, slow mo wise, that is?
Is there any music?

However, thanks anyway.

I have not slo mo so I can't give you any feedback on it.

**Filius** · October 05, 2011, 11:44 AM

What...?

It´s the button left of the normal speed button and right of the pause button...
Battle animations slow down, slow motion.
Music turns off.

Prior to the latest patch/dlc music went on...
I know, it´s nothing really important.
But it was simply beautyful enjoying the fight, slowly evolving underlayed with music...not much about it.
I´m just missing it.

I have the same problem (or is it "feature") since RoTS came out. Makes me quite sad whenever I feel like watching things happen in slow-mo.
I've changed audio devices, messed with settings, even reinstalled audio drivers and it still isn't the same. Hopefully this isn't how they intended it to be.
