Music doesn't play

I have been playing Mugen for a long time with little problems. However, the music in Mugen doesn't seem to play anymore. I checked the settings and everything seems to be normal, so I started and it still doesn't play. I don't know how to fix this, it would be great if somebody helped.
Normally, I'd put some sort of funny GIF here.  But I won't.

Can you elaborate it. Is it the stage that won't play music or you didn't put the sound file on the sound folder?

Mugen itself doesn't play music, not just the stages.

Just restarted my computer to see if that helps. It still doesn't play music.

What version of Mugen are you using?
1.0 RC7

Consider updating to the real MUGEN 1.0, not the release candidate. It is by far the most stable thing in the world. It should not have any problems.

On that note: what did you change between the time you have music and the time you had no music?


Okay, I'll upgrade it and see if it changes. I didn't change anything between the times, by the way.

It's worth a try:

1.) Go to DATA folder and right-click mugen.cfg, open it with notepad.
2.) Find this:

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sound configuration (Windows)
; Note: WavVolume and MidiVolume here are not the same
; as the ones in [Options], but they all affect the volume.
[Sound Win]
  ;Set the following to 1 to enable sound effects and music.
  ;Set to 0 to disable.
Sound = 1

  ;Set the following to 1 to enable stereo effects in-game
  ;Set to 0 to disable.
StereoEffects = 1

  ;This is the width of the sound panning field. If you
  ;Increase this number, the stereo effects will sound
  ;closer to the middle. Set to a smaller number to get
  ;more stereo separation on sound effects.
  ;Only valid if StereoEffects is set to 1.
PanningWidth = 240

  ;Set the following to 1 to reverse left and right channels
  ;on your sound card.
ReverseStereo = 0

  ;Wave device to use. Choose from:
  ; NONE    - No wave device
  ; AUTO    - Autodetect
  ; DX?     - DirectSound: replace ? with a the device number (from 0 to 9)
  ; DXA?    - DirectSound with Allegro mixer: replace ? with a the device number (from 0 to 9)
  ; WAVEOUTA- High-quality wave-out
  ; WAVEOUTB- Low-quality wave-out
WavDevice = Auto

  ;Voice Channels to use. Values are from 1 to 16.
  ;If sound quality is poor, try setting a smaller number, such as 8 or 4.
WavChannels = 12

  ;Maximum number of voices used for MODs.  This number reduces the
  ;number of available WavChannels.  ModVoices must be less than
  ;WavChannels.  If equal, then MODs will get all the available
  ;channels and therefore no sound effects will play.
ModVoices = 6

  ;Midi device to use. Choose from:
  ; NONE    - No midi device
  ; AUTO    - Autodetect
  ; MAPPER  - MIDI Mapper
  ; MID?    - MIDI Device: replace ? with a the device number (from 0 to 9)
  ; DIGMID  - Allegro's Digimid driver
MidiDevice = Auto

  ;This is the master volume for all wav sounds (affects mp3 volume).
  ;Valid values are from from 0 to 255.
MasterWavVolume = 255

  ;Set the volume of wav, midi, mods and CD audio.
  ;Note: WavVolume does not affect mp3 or mod volume.
  ;Valid values are from from 0 to 255.
  ;For CDAVolume only, using -1 will leave the volume unchanged.
WavVolume = 128
MidiVolume = 192
MP3Volume = 255  ;This affects all Winamp-compatible plugins as well
ModVolume = 80
CDAVolume = -1

  ;Set the following to 1 to enable and 0 to disable MIDI, MP3, MOD and CD
  ;playback.
PlayMIDI = 1
PlayMP3 = 1      ;This affects all Winamp-compatible plugins as well
PlayMOD = 1
PlayCDA = 1

  ;Set the drive letter of your CD-ROM (if you have more than one
  ;drive). eg, To use drive E, put the following:
  ;  CDADevice = E:\
  ;Leave blank to use your default CD-ROM drive.
CDADevice =

  ;Set the following to 1 to pause BGM playback when switching
  ;away from the MUGEN window.
PauseBGMOnDefocus = 1

  ;List Winamp-compatible plugins here.
  ;Specify the filename of the plugin and the list of file types to
  ;use the plugin for. One plugin per line.
  ;Example: plugin = plugins/my_plugin.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
  ;
  ;If music is not looping with a particular plugin, you can try an
  ;optional first argument looptype=1 (seek to zero; may stutter)
  ;or looptype=1 (reload plugin; slow).
  ;Example: plugin = looptype=1, plugins/my_plugin.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg
plugin = looptype=2, plugins/DJ-VAN.dll, mp3, mp2, mpg

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See if there's any difference on your mugen.cfg on codes as shown.

That's for WinMugen, I'm using 1.0.
Normally, I'd put some sort of funny GIF here.  But I won't.

so you were using 1.0 RC7 and the music was working.
One day you wake up and the music stops working for no reasons.

then you upgrade to the proper 1.0 (that means you have erased the previous RC7 CFG file in case it would contained errors right ?).

After upgrade nothing changes ?

Then I guess it has to do with your computer but to be sure you can ask someone to send you their 1.0 data file (if their data file and thus music works for them, but it still doesn't work on your computer then it's really your computer the problem for sure).

Now do you have automatic update activated for your Operating system ? If yes it might be the reason because I have heard many times about sudden sound problems related to Vista updates for example (and many other issues...sadly).
