sound issues 64bit linux

[pieopa]

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 linux with the meager video settings maxed! thnx in advanced!

i think from memory that regnum uses open al, but dont quote me that could be the problem.

Right, with openal you can specify which output you want, first check if you have a file called .openalrc in your home, if not create it and put this in there:

(define devices '(artsd))

And then remember to leave the last line empty in the file. I think openal can be directed to artsd, otherwise just kill artsd and change it to native or alsa in the ~/.openalrc file (native is oss).

tried it and unfortunately it doesn't work with artsd, also tried killing artsd modifying the file and using alsa, not luck there either, sound works peachy otherwise, peeeeeeaaaaacheeeeeeeeeeee!

any other help or suggestions will be tried as close to immediately as possible,
thank you all u guyz rok!

Do you have openal installed?

for debian or debian-derived distros type:

dpkg -l "*openal*"

to see what's installed and what's not, if you have debian the package is called libopenal0a so just apt-get install that
