Horrible soundt
The sound is horrible and has already been ugly for a while now, but since the latest update the game hangs at the splash and it takes a while for it to continue. It seems this is caused by a sound problem, since the NGD tune is played in a few seconds when the game picks up again and the following lines are printed to the console:
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) Could it be that it has something to do with PulseAudio or the fact that OpenAL isn't a very well maintained standard? I'm running the amd64 version of Ubuntu Karmic beta on a computer with an Nvidia chipset and onboard Nvidia HDA sound card.

I have experienced similar problems since the last update..... today i had a sharp static sound, lagged, the window went white, i thought i crashed but then was back in game only with no sound and the lag was worse. I relogged and it happened again a few minutes later. Do i need to try to uninstall and reinstall?

Pulseaudio sucks, specially in the latest versions. I have tested a lot of version and the best thing to do is to don't use it. Alsa works pretty good.

I had sound problems on Arch Linux after updating OpenAL and lib32-OpenAL to version 1.9.563. With downgrading to version 1.8.466 the sound works again.
My favorite sound system on Linux is OSSv4. Better than ALSA for me. |

Heres my fix to audio problem
Ok people what I did was this:
In the terminal: sudo gedit /etc/openal/alsoft.conf change the divice line form Alasa backend stuff to this: ## ALSA backend stuff ## [alsa] ## device: # Sets the device name for the default playback device. device = alsa remember to un coment it. Hope this helps. |

Deleted my message as it was not a solution for this particular problem. Realized it when this one happened to me too after upgrading to karmic. Blastermaster77 solution works but i can no more listen to music with audio player (amarok or audacious) while playing regnum now.
