Hey guys,
Recently I've decided to reinstall the old Original saga of the series just for the sake of nostalgia, and after playing little I noticed a problem where the background music does not play at certain times when it should be.
- The music does not play in the background when entering any temple, instead of playing this:
All I get are just the footsteps of my party
- The music does not play in dreams, here watch this video
As you can see there is music in it, but in my game only the narrator's voice is heard
No mods are installed. And the game is always run as administrator.
Does anyone know what might cause this issue and how would I be able to fix it, it feels pretty dull to play like this.
Specs:
Windows 7 x64, Original saga is from GOG, the sound 'card' I use is onboard (Realtek ALC898 Audio Codec)
Thanks in forward

I forgot to mention, but the 'Environmental Sounds' option is disabled and greyed out and I can't check/uncheck it.
Also I play the game while using the 'Q' quicksave button a lot. This tends to usually reset the music from the beginning so I'm not sure if this might cause any problems.

Yes, that's the file the games settings are stored at.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit).
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Check if you can find the "Baldur.lua" file on your computer, it should be at C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition -folder, but it might be elsewhere too, it's the same folder where your actual "save" -folder is, open the file with Notepad and copy paste the text to a post.

There's no Baldurs Gate - Enhanced Edition folder in Documents or anything relating to Baldurs Gate since I'm using the Original Saga.
Searching the installation folder yields no results for the "Baldur.lua" file either

The following is in the baldur.ini file in the installation folder:

I can't find the baldur.ini file anywhere else, so I'm not sure if this one is the one you're looking for.
