SYMPTOMS
When you play Microsoft Outwars, the music in the game may echo or sound distorted, as if two tunes are being played at the same time. In addition, if you attempt to play CD audio tracks directly from the Outwars compact disc using Media Player, the playback may not be audible.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if your CD-ROM drive is not properly connected to your sound card.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, connect your CD-ROM drive to your sound card using a CD audio cable.



MORE INFORMATION
The interactive music system used by Outwars combines CD audio and wave audio to dynamically match the background music to the action in the game. If CD audio is not routed through the sound card, the interactive music system may not function properly.

If multiple CD-ROM drives are installed in the computer, you must use CD audio cables to connect each CD-ROM drive to the sound card.
