Hi, I'm the orignal author of the -Max Payne(1) Vista Sound Fix-, [forums.3drealms.com] in the 3drealms forums years ago when Vista was released and the Max Payne(1) sound issue first surfaced. The main issue is that if you install Max Payne (1) on Vista or Windows7/8/10 you will probably notice that most music, intro sound, cut-scene talks and many of the original in game sounds are missing. The old fix attempted to fix that, by converting the original sounds to a format that does play right in Vista/Windows7/8/10, but it had some flaws, like leaving the game in an unpacked state, and not being compatible with mods.

It looks for and converts the sounds from the various formats found to 8bit unsigned sounds, of a quality simmilar to the original sounds using SOX -an opensource sound conversion tool. After that is done, the game is repacked again using ras-maker. The fix also has a lot of other functions, like checking if the game is complete and converting and managing mods.

Important infoI'd like to inform everyone that although this patch is still working, ten years after creating the soundpatch I found a new solution for the sound, that does not require any conversions or batchfile any more. That solution is to use indirectsound, a dsound. Skripsi Sosiologi Pdf here. dll made by J-P Ownby.
