Go into your sound config, and check "Enable XA Sound".

[edit] Oops, not using an emulator...hrm...I have no clue.

Your PSX laser may need a retune

There is a guide at http://www.maxking.com/pslaser.htm

If you want to make sure the CD Image was OK to start with before you burned the game you can scan it with CDMage

I already know myself that both CD Images for Xenogears should have 0 errors reported if it's in good shape, some games do have errors intended to be there though

I also know that the sound should work in FMV on a chipped PSX or PSone

i tried fixin' da laser but it still didnt work and i also checked da image and dere was no corruption. ne thing else?

You are using a mod chip ?

Check to make sure that the audio files for the FMV's really are in the CD image.

I've scanned ISO's with CDMage that had the audio and/or the FMV's ripped, and CDMage still reported no errors.

The only way to be sure that the audio files really are in the ISO, is to use CDMage to first check that the audio files are there, and then to browse the content of the audio files and if you see nothing but 0's, then the audio files are missing.

Xenogears wouldn't be easy to rip in that way and only has 2 files on each CD the main SLUS file and the SYSTEM file no STR's or XA files in sight so it's not going to be a rip of any kind

ya i am usin a mod chip, i'll try downloading from bit torrent. im pretty sure disc 2 audio works.

[Zorlon]

OK good luck then yeah a mod chip should just run it.

If you said that you used a boot CD or a Swap/swop trick then it could of been another problem, thats why I asked.
