Bloodmoon Earth Stone Quest (spoilers)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.morrowind (More info?)

I'm trying to do the Earth Song Quest, and I don't hear anything.

Rather, sometimes, when I first enter the song chamber dungeon, I hear
something low and loud which sounds like it MIGHT be three tones, but
this is only right after I enter, and then nothing else.

In the final chamber there are three stalagmites. I can interact with
them and I get a little puff of steam from each, but no sound - the
standard dungeon music keeps playing in the background (I've tried
playing with the various volume controls, and no luck). The upper
stalagtites seem to be playing 4 steam puffs that I assume are notes,
in order 1,2,3,2 counting from the left, but copying this pattern
doesn't do anything.

Various hint sites on line mention a different pattern besides that
one, but they also strongly imply I should be hearing something. My
journal also says that I am hearing something. But I'm not.

My only guess is if there is some mod I have loaded that may interfere
with the sounds being played. I do have several quest mods loaded,
but so far as I know, none affecting Solstheim/Bloodmoon at all.

Anyone else run into this? Any solutions?

I didn't run into his situation. Anyway, here's the solution:
Think of the stalagmites numbered 1 to 3 from left to right.
The first pattern you have to enter is 2-3-1-3
After that the melody changes and you have to enter 1-3-2-1
I think you will get a journal entry after doing that. Head to
the Earth Stone and activate it again to complete this quest.

I had the same exact problem. It went on for about two months. I even
emailed the company and was told it was due to outdated drivers. Not so. The
solution was easy. I was always hitting the pipes with a hammer or the like.
Nothing. Nada. Very frustrating after dozens of tries. Here is how I finally
solved it: use the spacebar! Hope this helps-

This is one of the things they might tell you more clearly
in the manual - thaat when you interact with something
in the game, youy *use* it. That objects like hammers,
swords etc are only good for one thing: hitting somebody. That actions,
that was part of a quest,
were performed by 'using' something with the
spacebar. (right clicking the mouse, should do
the same thing
