Sfall

Sfall is required for any HQ/Lossless option.

1. You need sfall (ddraw.dll) version 4.2.9+. Download here. If you use UPU or RPU version 19+, you already have it.
2. In fallout2.cfg, find and set the following:

   [sound]
   music_path1=data\sound\music\

HQ

1. Download hq package from the latest release page.
2. Extract files into data\sound\music.

Lossless

Same as HQ, but download corresponding lossless package instead.

Also, in ddraw.ini, find and set the following:

[Sound]
AllowDShowSound=2

• For Wav, no additional configuration required.
• For WavPack, you will need to install WavPack DirectShow Filter.
• For Flac, you will need flac codecs.

Fallout 1

You can't use HQ/Lossless in Fallout 1 directly. But you can use it in Fallout1in2. The procedure is the same.

Linux

• Make sure to install gstreamer-plugins-good, with architecture matching WINEARCH.
• For WavPack/Flac, also install corresponding packages.
