Contains all the sound effects and music.

The main sound files are:

  • SAMPLE.CAT - intro
  • SAMPLE2.CAT - battlescape
  • SAMPLE3.CAT - geoscape

These are the only sound files CE version has.

However, the DOS versions holds leftovers from before patch. These files are:

  • INTRO.CAT
  • SOUND1.CAT - battlescape
  • SOUND2.CAT - geoscape
  • and others files for different soundcards. Some of them are not modified by patch, but I don't have hardware to test if they are obsolete.

The main difference between two version of sound engine is quality.

before: 8000 Hz, 6 bit.
after: 11025 Hz, 8 bit.

The other difference is that completely new files were used. Most effects sound the same, but some, especially alien death screams have been changed.
