I grew up playing the Mac version of C&C. I've tried playing the Windows version on my modern PC and the one difference I've noticed is that the chirp sound doesn't play properly when you earn or spend money.
On the Mac the sound is clear, continuous, and rather pleasant. On the PC the sound is more of a tick than a chirp and stutters and plays erratically, and seems to be cut off before it finishes playing. A more continuous chirp sound plays in the background, but it is very quiet, nearly inaudible with the music playing.
This was the case when I first played C&C95 5+ years ago on my WinXP machine. I assumed it was a compatibility problem with XP. Since I've never tried it on a Win95 or 98 machine, I don't know if this is a correct assumption. I've recently tried playing it again on my Win7 PC with the Nyerguds 1.06c patch and CNCdraw and have the same problem. I've watched a few Youtube videos and it seems to affect everyone else as well, but then I watched a video of someone playing the DOS version, and the sound seemed to play properly.
So does anyone else know what I'm talking about, and how to fix it?
Thanks.
