This is a known issue for the Total Revolution pack owners. We haven't actually worked out where the problem lies, but some say Bink&Smacker plays the intro.smk file nicely, so the file itself seems to be ok. Currently the only explanation is that the publisher of the pack, UbiSoft, included the French version of intro.smk and the game tries to read the audio from the wrong location in the file - thus the corrupt sound. The solution is to replace the intro.smk

  Download the simpleBrokenSword patch to replace the intro.smk. Please note, that this is totally unofficial and Revolution Software Ltd. hasn't got anything to do with this patch. Use only at your own risk.

  Open up Sword.inf (by default located in C:\Sword). It looks something like this.

    smackshi\
    smackshi\
    D:\speech\
    D:\speech\
    D:\music\
    D:\music\
    clusters\
    clusters\
    saves\
    English

  Note the lines starting with a drive letter (in this case D:\). The letter should be the CD-ROM drive you are using to play the game (usually D:, E: or F:, but can easily be something else). To find out what drive letter your CD device has, open up My Computer. If the drive in Sword.inf does not correspond to the drive you are using, then change it. For example, if your CD device is E:, then Sword.inf should look like this:

    smackshi\
    smackshi\
    E:\speech\
    E:\speech\
    E:\music\
    E:\music\
    clusters\
    clusters\
    saves\

  Known to occur only in Windows XP, if you experience it on another OS please let me know.

  Open My Computer, right click the CD device CD1 is in and choose Open. Find setup.exe, Right click it and choose Properties. Select the tab Compatibility from the top of the pop-up window. Tick 'Use compatibility'. Under OS choose the Windows 95 or Windows 98 - Me or 2000 might now work. Choose OK and now run the setup.
