Don't know if it has already been asked but
Is it possible to disactivate the background music(drumbeat)?

Not within the game itself, but one way around this is to replace the file 'theme.wav' in your 'Sound' folder with an empty 'wav' file.

HubertWhere can I get an empty 'wav' file?

You would have to create one I guess, there are some free wave programs available, GoldWave is one. Quick question, is the background music playing throughout the game or just in the intro menu screens?

I have only noticed on the main menu screen. I normally keep the speakers off and only noticed the drumroll when I turned on the speakers to let me know when I recieve a PBEM. It is a pain in the arse as I normally leave SC open but minimized when not being used.

I wouldn't know where to begin creating a wav file, couldn't you add this as an option with the next patch?

Never thought about why the game would just be left open but I can see that now, as for a patch to this, I'll see what I can do ;)

OK how is this, when you minimize SC via ALT-TAB or ESC, it will stop playing the drumbeat once the wave plays through, i.e. once the SC window loses focus. When you restore it, the music will start up again.

It's the quickest and easiest way for me to this for now but I think will give you what you want essentially.
