This is a message for GOG. I am very happy with the HeXen II music wrapper. I want the same for Quake and Quake II.

Quake 1:

1) Download and extract Quakespasm: http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/download.htm

2) Place your ID1 folder into the Quakespasm folder.

3) Read Quakespasm-Music.txt to set up music.

4) Double-click quakespasm.exe to play Quake.

Quake 2:

1) Download and extract Yamagi Quake from http://www.yamagi.org/quake2/ where it says "Precompiled Windows binaries".

2) Place your baseq2 folder in the Yamagi-Quake folder.

3) Go into the Yamagi-Quake subfolder \doc\yquake2\ and open 020_installation.txt. Follow the instructions under "Using a Generic CD Extractor" to set up the music.

4) Double click on Quake2.exe to play Quake 2.

Hexen II is NOT fixed here...

it works fine only with source port...

official version has music loop only in MIDI mode, not in CD mode... so is NOT fixed

This is Windows issue and cannot be fixed for CD music. Only MIDI or ogg. One of the restrictions Microsoft made back in the days of SP2 for Vista.

It not needed for Quake 1 because it OK when music change after loadings and at few... literally one minute be silent. Quake 2 have music in OGG and no have issues... and again, even that awesome music should be sometime silent.

Anyway. GOG cant fix anything on their side not for any mentioned here games. They choose cue+bin(.gog) disk image for Quake 1 for better DosBox compatibility (although DOS not support AudioCD and play midi instead).
GOG keep needed dll (_winmm.dll) and MUSIC folder. Use VLC Media Player and grab music from game.cue file to ogg trakcs, put it to MUSIC folder and rename winmm.dll.

One of the solutions:

Another one - DxWnd. Current version also have audiocd wrapping (as many other thins as well).

Quake Enhanced has been released with the original OST. Why not fix the old version? GoG could do that but frankly, they are unlikely to do so.

been playing it for hours, no music in the base quake even though it says there should be.
