No sound?

[MrUnknown77]

I reinstalled my operating system, and it has make the game run smoother, but theres no sound! I think theres some kind of thing I have to download for there to be sound? My OS is linux so help would be appreciated

I don't know what to say but:
1. Check if all your drivers are up-to date and they are functional. Can you hear something in other games or can you listen to music?

2. Check on the client if you have sound enabled.

you have to install libopenal

I have the same problem. It sometimes does it but the sounds comes back later just give it some time ^^

Or simply play without sound, It's less laggy and less noisy. :3
(That's why the game runs more smoother).

Great tip, i had the same problem and it's nice to have sound now. libopenal1 did the job.

I'm running a linux 64 client and all dependecies installed but still no sound.
