There is no music present in the main menu or while playing the game. Sound effects work fine though.
Anyone have any idea what this could depend on, and how it could be solved?
The game in question is Seven Kingdoms 2.

Oh no! I wish I had read this before I bought Seven Kingdoms last week. I haven't tried it out yet (busy with other games)... but if I'd known there would be no music in the game, I wouldn't have bought it. Is there a solution yet? (I'd be happy to delete the game and re-download a new copy with fixed music...)
I know it's just one game of many, but this is the kind of stuff that can make or break someone's opinion of spending a few bucks on GOG to get a (supposedly) quality, perfect copy... vs. just ripping it off a torrent or abandonware site and having to deal with installation, graphics, or sound issues. But if the actual GOG release still contains sound issues... many people would wonder why we bother paying anyways?

Yeah, a fix would be neat. The game sounds very empty without it.
Playing the music in the background isn't the same. Doesn't really fit.

The game, as far as I know, has CD-music. Which means it has to play music off of a CD-ROM in your disc drive. There's no other way to really fix this. Burning the MP3s as waves to a CD and putting that drive strikes me as a perfectly acceptable solution since that's essentially how the original game worked anyway.
Of course, I have a disc copy and it still refuses to play the music, which is troubling. Anyone wanna take a stab at *that*?

So, no fix yet?

It's certainly possible to do it. CD music has been converted to MP3s on other GOG games (I believe Total Annihilation, Descent 2, others...), and it works fine. Shouldn't take two years to fix, surely?

I vote: problem NOT solved. :P

Well I won't buy the game in this condition

This is really getting ridiculous. I already felt ripped when I bought Postal and realized that the left arrow key didn't work. Now there is no music for this game...

If this goes on, I'll demand a refund for every game that doesn't work right because we're basically not getting what we paid for. GOG team likes to play clowns on youtube (and shutting down the site without warning whatsoever) but they should try instead to be more professional.

Disguising as monks to make customers laugh is ok as long as you deliver what they paid for.
