How To: Fix Sound Issue in Ubuntu

[spyke01]

This works on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake but should work with distros based on Ubuntu as well as later releases.

First install support for OpenenAL:

sudo apt-get install libopenal0a libopenalpp-cvs1 libalut0


Make symbolic link so Regnum sees OpenAL

ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0 /usr/lib/libopenal.so

I did it, don't showed this red warning "can't open libopenal.so".
But no sound yet.
Kubuntu, version 6.10.

open a terminal and do

sudo nano -w /etc/openalrc

change

(define devices '(default)
or
(define devices '(alsa)

to

(define devices'(native)
