Still problems with Sound (Feisty)

marduk666 · 10-02-2007, 10:01 AM

Hey,

i still have no sound in the game. I have installed the OpenAI Packages, i have created an .openalrc in my home with (define devices '(native)) in it. I tried to start regnumm with aoss but nothing. I also have made the symbolic link
in /usr/lib:

Quote:

dennis@nb-dschwan2:/usr/lib$ ls -l libopenal*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 353386 2006-12-12 16:33 libopenal.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 819 2006-12-12 16:33 libopenal.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-03-27 17:55 libopenal.so -> libopenal.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-03-27 17:02 libopenal.so.0 -> libopenal.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 225404 2006-12-12 16:33 libopenal.so.0.0.0

So any more hint?

Regards,
Dennis

is your user a member of the audio group?
Open a console and type

Code:

groups

If it doesn't say audio, type

Code:

gpasswd -a ${USER} audio

(replace ${USER} with your username, of course

)

Yes i am member of group audio

Everything else is running fine, Listen, Gaim-Sounds etc.

edit the file openalrc and add this line:

(define devices '(native))

are you running gnome or kde? both these things have software mixers, kde's is called arts (artsd is the name of hte process), and in gnome it's esd

let's assume you run gnome, when gnome starts up, esd starts up, your regular programs use esd output so they can all mix streams happily, but regnum isn't using esd and tries to access the hardware, but the hardware is already occupied by esd

instead of using native (which is oss) in the .openalrc file, you can try specifying esd (if you're using esd that is), that should solve your problem

alternatively, before you start regnum, you could kill esd, this would free up your audio hardware, so regnum can utilize it

I don't know if you can define arts in .openalrc, but I assume so, but you can research that yourself (:
