How do you turn of the CD (bz2) music when playing a game?

Hello all -

I adjusted all my sound perams in BZII to keep the music fairly low when playing a game, and that seems to be OK, but I cannot seem to stop the CD itself from spinning along and playing music.
I know it is the CD that is playing the music and not the game, because when I open up my CD/RW ROM, to remove the CD, the music stops.

I launch the 1.3 version of BZII from my desktop, with the BZII CD in the CD/ROM.  I assume I need that CD in there to play the game, but perhaps I do not.  Any clues, people?

Thanks -

PS  It is still amazing to me how many people are still playing the stock 1.2 version of the game.  It's like they are all asleep (lol).

Well, as you noted, you could just eject the CD to stop the music.

1.2 requires the CD to startup, but you can get a patch to remove that requirement. The 1.3 beta has the no-CD patch already in it, so you don't really need the CD in to start the game.

You could just put your CD safely away and run on 1.3 or 1.2+NO-CD patch.
(I thought it would be on BZScrap, but with a quick l scan I didn't see it. Any links?)

OK guy -

I'll guess I will just give it a try (removing the CD), and you said I don't need it so, that solves the problem.

Doesn't 1.3 ave an option in the sound option menu to turn off game music?

It does.  Under sound, there is an option for CD Music.
