Doomsday 1.4 Music doens't play right
Hi everyone, I have started to use Doomsday but the music won't won't.
I tried multiple sound drivers, but only the intro theme plays and repeats itself.

EDIT: I tried Heretic, and the music works fine.
Can you paste the contents of your Doomsday.out file (in code tags)?
The out file is a log of everything Dday did the last time you launched it and can be found in 'snowberry/runtime'.
You can also increase the amount of information printed in the log through Snowberry, with the 'verbose messages' option under 'settings', then 'developer'. Bear in mind that increasing the verbosity of the log might have a little impact on performance.
Rememeber that Snowberry allows you to set options both globally and on a game by game basis; check the audio plugin field on both the shared settings and on the Doom profile specifically.
EDIT: I've changed back, still no music. HEre is the new out file:
Edit: I just tested something else. If I LOAD a saved game, it's the intro music that constantly being repeated.
While we are diagnosing the problem, may I ask why aren't they supported in the first place and why they are on the add on part?
The reason that add-on is not supported is because it is missing data definitions for the music and the episode endings (hence your problems).
As I said, you have to remove them manually from your Doomsday install directory, not the Doomsday Frontend directory.
Still, it seems I was right all along as to the cause of the problem, to point back to my first reply in this topic and the second post
Since this is an issue that comes up semi often, I think a note should be added to the notes section on the Dday Add-ons page that states that 'Slides Skyboxes' is the new version of the JDEP; the change in name might be confusing people into thinking they are different add-ons and the in hindsight poorly chosen 'J' prefix makes the JDEP seem 'official' and hence people may think the latest version will always work with the latest Dday. If you get what I mean.
Maybe the 'J' prefix should be removed from all the add-on names that still use it, on the Dday site?
What I was getting at was that removing the 'J' prefix from all add-ons on the Dday site, that still use it, might help Dday distance itself from it, given that the prefix no longer means what it once did.
Since people keep trying to run the JDEP with modern Dday, for whatever reason (there are several threads on this forum where people are having music issues that turned out to be because they were running the JDEP with modern Dday), I was also suggesting a note be added to the Slides Skybox add-ons on the Dday website stating that 'they are the updated version of the old JDEP add-on'.
Those should all work with modern Dday. If they don't in any way, make a thread about it as it may be a bug in the current version of Dday or the add-on may need updating.
