No sound with ALL Age of Empires Cracks

[asterix]

I want to use the cracks for Age of Empires Rise of Rome and Age of Empires II Conqueror's Expansion. With AOE ROR crack the music defaults to a different soundtrack which causes a 2-3 second pause in the gameplay between music tracks. Intolerable.

With AOE II Conqueror's Expansion I get no music at all during gameplay. The cracks work fine BUT NO MUSIC.

HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

Using Windows 2000 SP3
Asus A7N8X Deluxe with onboard sound.
