Sound Problem

[zeatchek]

I can get the game to run if i disable sound and music but if I try running the game with sounds/music enabled, i get this error in the terminal:

game: pcm_params.c:2351: sndrv_pcm_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0' failed.
Saving backtrace to crash_backtrace_12832.log
Got SIGABRT (aborted)

I have the OpenAL packages installed. I started having audio problems with my computer ever since i installed pulse audio.

Any help would be much appreciated.

[zeatchek]

i uninstalled pulse audio, and I no longer get that error and I can now go into the game with everything enabled but there is still no sound

zeatchek,

Try putting this in ~/.openalrc:

(define devices '(native))

[zeatchek]

I added that in my openalrc file which replaced alsa, but theres still no sound.

Whats weird is that I click to enable sound and music in options then i click back and everytime i go back to options enable sound and enable music are unchecked.

right make sure when you're ingame that the volume levels aren't zero, and when next you quit the game cd to your regnum dir, and cd in to the live dir, once there type cp game.cfg ../

see the game.cfg in the regnum dir thinks your volume should be zero, while the game.cfg in live is the accurate (last known state) config, the root one just doesn't get updated

I had it working but then I had to reinstall my OS cuz of another problem.

Now i get this msg in terminal when doing aoss ./rolauncher

/regnum$ open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Invalid argument

I also can't go into window mode anymore.

my sound isn't working but the game runs great, all other sounds work just fine including serveral 3d games, however when I login to regnum everything is perfect and gorgeous, only......silent, no sounds whatsoever! game looks and plays awesome otherwise! any help would kick azz...




let windoze die, we can game on linux. wait what do we even need a proprietary os for?

stop reinstalling and fix your issues, you'll learn alot more and be a better tech at the end of the day! I know sometimes you have reinstall THIS IS NOT TRUE read up on linux it will blow your mind, redo your whole os recompile your kernel with the proper kernel modules read and you will be free

64 bit debian kernel, custom from there was using xfce switch to kde and walla stuck with artsd alsa modules work fine on everthing else though, I run warsow, urt4.1, americas army, world of warcrack, and serveral smaller titles all just fine, enemy territory is bugged for me now but sound works fine

Cool sound issues 64bit linux
I've installed all the alsa modules for artsd(my sound server), all my other games work fine, w0w, urt4.1, warsow, et(sound works anyway), aa, but this game as wonderful and beautiful as it seems to be refuses to give me any sound. The configuration menu sux azz and there doesn't seem to be a conf file to specify hw or snd server info. any help would just plain rok, as this game looks awesome and plays smooth on nvidia 8600gs 64bit Debian with the meager video settings maxed! thnx in advanced!

Pieopa

P.s. I can login and play just fine great game just no sound atm!

[pieopa]

have u installed openal?

try doing: apt-get install libopenal0a
already installed, also installed the dev and sdl files hoping that would help no luck

[Panda_Bear]

if you think the graphics in this game are cool, go have a look at cysis

[arlick]

all that i know is that game use alsa

All configurations about the game that u can change are in the file named "game.cfg".

At the spanish forum we have a little "sound how-to", take a look :P

May modifying the file /etc/openalrc you can fix it.

so you have any idea where game.cfg is, the only file I can find is the launcher .rolauncher

great ideas with etc/openalrc let me try that and see if I can't find this game.cfg, cause .rolauncher has the same sparse options the in game menu has


dude it's seriously in spanish lol

now regnok is downloading libmath* interesting it seems it needs an additional math library for the openal native setting hmm.... keep ya posted, no pun intended

I wonder why it's downloading all these gui and other libraries now and didn't before, did we have an update since this morning? ah well back to waiting,

[arlick]

so you have any idea where game.cfg is, the only file I can find is the launcher .rolauncher

at regnum folder installation. the file is at regnum/live/game.cfg

[pieopa]

at regnum folder installation. the file is at regnum/live/game.cfg


thnx a not so quick search on filesystem and it seems I installed it to my home dir lol, silly me and there it is thnx.

this file is the same as .rolauncher unfortunately, I'm searching now to see if there is something to add to this file, thnx for all your help

[pieopa]

still no sound I've tried everything I could find and think of, any other ideas would be great 64bit debian artsd sound server, guess I could logon to a different wm thus changing sound servers... any suggestion, no gnome esd sux

[Froste]

type killall -9 artsd before starting regnum? (:

[pieopa]

type killall -9 artsd before starting regnum? (:

yeah I've been killin artsd all day tried the -9 switch and wammo it's back again can't find it in etc/init.d don't know where it could be tried the sysinitv editor thing and it just a gui of etc/init.d so no help there cept the runlevels are fun to see that way. anyway rambling again.... hmm uh dunno, anything you guys post I'll try cept somethin stupid like dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null count bazzilion, lmao, seriously thnx to you all for you help, much appreciated, I'm glad to see a worthy 3D mmorpg with a native linux client, die windoze die,

[pieopa]

I also installed serveral really cool window managers with crappy sound daemons
any suggestion besides gnome would be awesome

[Froste]

Personally I think the idea of software audio mixing should have died in the mid 90s, I think it's atrocious. It's better to either let alsa handle the mixing, or even better, let the hardware do it, the problem is not all cards have drivers which are capable of mixing it in the driver, and even fewer have hardware mixing, but if you have a secondhand computer store near you (or even order it from the net) you could get the old and trusted sblive, because that has real hardware mixing. And if you pick up a used one, it's dirt cheap.

[Chandahari]

the game works but I only had sound the first time I played it, I already tried everythig but nothing works. What can I do?

[xasdad]

Installing libopenal0a helped. Thanks!
