Sound in The Oregon Trail?

[thisisamigaspeaking]

I have sound toggled on in the game menu, and the sound is working on my system (Centris 650), but I am not getting any sound from The Oregon Trail. Does it have music on the title screen? I am using external speakers but pulling the cable doesn't get any sound.

Only the CD-ROM version has music. The disk version only has a few sound effects, specifically when a rock is hit while rafting, the rifle is fired during hunting, and when someone dies.

The equivalent MS-DOS version on floppy DID have music.

Ah, thank you. Can I play the CD-ROM version from a disk image or does it need audio tracks (not sure how that works)?

You can use it from an image, or install it on the hard drive. If no sound is working at all, however, I'd check to see if the Sound Manager 3.0 extension file is present in the System Folder. If it is, disable it. Some games do lose their sound when said file is loaded. One of them being Super Tetris.
