Is there a way to fix this? Is it a compatibility issue? Also, I know about the source ports, and I know about the 3.24 patch (which I'm using in the meantime), but I want to see if I can get the music working without installing any of that.

well to start off sadly it appears the gog version of Quake 2 does not include any of the music for the game and its expansions.

so I recommend looking at the sticky thread here in the forums that has download links for those files.

that may be your only issue

if not then may needa put the music files properly structured into a iso file and mount it to your rig for the game then to properly read it.

I installed the music myself in a clean installation and it still didn't work.

Not yet. Is there a way to do that so it happens automatically upon launching Quake 2?

sadly with the original game code no.

it wasnt every designed to do it automatically like DOSbox can.

That's a shame. I guess I'll just stick to using the 3.24 patch for now until I find something new

I installed from the offline installer. In the main folder, there's a folder labeled "music" with .OGG music files in it, including all the tracks for the expansions. In the main folder there are also three .DLL files (libogg-0, libvorbis-0, and libvorbisfile-3), but I haven't figured out how to get them to queue up and play.

*edit: I can play them as a playlist through VLC or Groove Music though. So, if order isn't an issue, you could do that.

Quake 2 is not a DOS game.

It is for Windows only.

I think he means in comparison to Quake 1.

Sorry for such a late reply (never saw this for some reason), but could you tell me which comment you're referring to? I can't seem to find any comments pertaining to Quake II.

I sadly don't have Quake II so I can't really help on that front, but I have tried this OGG wrapper by ayunax for Quake I and it has worked well on it, but I can't vouch whether or not this will also work on Quake II.

I tried this with Quake II but it doesn't seem to work for me, unfortunately.
