Sound not working on "The Lurking Horror"

[save2600]

@Barney,

 I have an original Lurking Horror from the Treasures of Infocom on disk. I compared the files from the .adf to the retail one. Identical. Same audio files and everything. Even the retail version does not produce sounds! This is a bigger mystery than the game itself and nobody seems to have an answer. lol

I noticed on the disk that there are 16 sound files.  These sound files pop up at specific parts of the game.  Maybe they don't occur until later in the game.  From what I remember, there were a few sounds early on, but maybe I am mistaken.  I will keep playing and let you know if I hear anything.

Well, I obtained an original copy of this program and still no sound.  I don't understand why the sound won't work.  The only other possibility is that it's only compatible on an OCS system.  

Just an idea; I noticed that the sound file end with .mid.  I take it that this means "midi" files.  Do I need a midi player for these sounds to work?  I remember with the Amiga 1000, I was just using the regular old kickstart 1.2 and workbench 1.2.

It looks to me like you have uncovered "The Lurking Horror" within this game..  LOL
