SDL_mixer version: 1.2.8
...audio rate: 44100
...audio channels: 2
...driver: 'alsa'
It appears as though, for whatever reason, SDL is still using the alsa driver rather than the pulse driver. However, the crackling sound seems as though it is actually using the pulse driver. Try the things below and let me know if any of them work for you. I apologize for the many options available, but there is no other way to narrow things down.

For your first option... Open a terminal, then type the following command to run ufo alien invasion:

Code: [Select]

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse ufo
If that doesn't work, then you can also try the following to get it working:

Code: [Select]

pasuspender ufo
Failing that, there is one more thing that you could try:

1. First, open a terminal and use the following command (without quotes): "sudo apt-get install padsp"
2. Next open a terminal and run the folloring:

Code: [Select]

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=oss; padsp ufo
If none of those options work, and you still get crackling sound, then your options are to either uninstall pulseaudio or try to get it to work. If you want to keep pulseaudio, then follow the steps in this thread to try and fix it:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739

Personally, I have uninstalled pulseaudio on every system that I use for gaming. It is far too much work to get it working, and it never seems to play well with WINE. Of course, pulseaudio is a great project, but unless you build and patch the development version (and keep up with the changes), you will never (in my experience) be satisfied with the outcome.

[Kildor]

> ...game version: 2.2.1
You apparently should check last 2.3-dev version of game. Will it have the same problems with  sound or not?

[QkiZ]

Code: [Select]

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse ufoNothing has changed. Game is still using alsa. Sound crackling.

Code: [Select]

pasuspender ufoIn general, there is no sound in game and system after that. I must restart pulseaudio to recover sound in system.

Code: [Select]

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=oss; padsp ufoNothing has changed. Game is still using alsa. Sound crackling.

Code: [Select]

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739I will try this one.

[Spyro]

Kildor has a good point.

If you haven't compiled them yet on your own, you can download 2.3-dev compiled for 9.10 32-bit from my "site" (no web page yet, not enough hours in the week for that yet) at http://www.spyrius.com/ufoai_debs/i386/.

I will be making a formal apt repository as soon as I get just a little bit of extra time... But if you would like to try the latest version (and you are running i386) then those should work.

Just tested it for a bit in an ubuntu 9.10 32-bit vm. No sound issues after starting a mission and moving around a bit. Maybe the version was the problem?

Edit: Played around with things.

[QkiZ]

@Spyro:
I'll check the developer version and write if there is a problem with sound.
Tips from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739 not helped me.

[Spyro]

Hopefully the 2.3-dev version works, but if not.... Then....

It occurs to me that I should have asked a question a long time ago...

What type of sound card are you using? 

[QkiZ]

I play the game on two computers (in home and at work ). Both computers have Intel HD Audio Controller.

[Spyro]

Well, in that case, I don't see any hardware-related reason that sound would fail in ufoai. More than likely it is/was a pulseaudio issue. If it isn't solved by the switch to 2.3-dev then just remove pulseaudio and save yourself the headache. Based on my experiences removing pulseaudio on several different machines (successfully and without incident so far), the best way to do it is with the following procedure:

1. Remove PulseAudio

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio-*
sudo apt-get remove --purge gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

2. Install Esound - (Not Sure if This is really needed or not, but seems to help retain system sounds in gnome. It can't hurt anything.)

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install esound

3. Add Audio Hacks Repository - just follow the direction here: https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/ppa

4. Re-Add Volume Control to Panel - The one included with ubuntu is attached to pulse and bugs out when you remove pulseaudio. By adding the audio hacks repository you get access to versions of gnome-applets, gnome-media, and gnome-settings-daemon that were compiled with pulseaudio support disabled. You can try to do this yourself, but dpkg always bugged out for me.

Or, as a totally different alternative, you could just install a distro that is not so rigidly attached to pulseaudio. I am an ubuntu user myself, but when it comes to functionality sometimes you must be distro agnostic.

[QkiZ]

I'm downloading right now version 2.3 of game. I have question: is savegame files are compatible with developer version?

[Kildor]

no. at all.

[QkiZ]

Ok, in dev version sound play clearly, but graphics are broken http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=4400.0

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse ufoNothing has changed. Game is still using alsa. Sound crackling.

All right, sorry to raise an old thread but I found a solution to this same problem.  I solved this over a year or two ago but after a reinstall I forgot the solution... so after a few hours of meditation and tinkering I'm writing the solution down here.

Code: [Select]

sudo aptitude install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
After you've installed that package "Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and PulseAudio options)", start up UFO:AI and you will notice the sound is much better (You will see in the log that pulse is used instead of alsa); but the sound is still somewhat cracky.  Within UFO:AI, change the Audio Sample Rate option from 44100 to 48000; you will notice the sound is less cracky, and plays slightly slower.

To eliminate the crackiness, we need to set PulseAudio to operate internally at a sample rate of 48000 Hz.  To do this, edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Code: [Select]

sudo vim /etc/pulse/daemon.confThen look for this line:

Code: [Select]

; default-sample-rate = 44100And add this line below it:

Code: [Select]

default-sample-rate = 48000
No need to restart anything!  export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse then start up UFO:AI to hear crystal clear sound while using PulseAudio!

Code: [Select]

SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse ufo
I think the crackly noise thing has effected me since the 2.2.1 release, all the way up to the current revision (31875); I'm fairly sure it has to do with the relationship between PulseAudio and the Simple DirectMedia Layer Library; it isn't a UFO:AI bug.  I suppose a bug report could be filled if the related UFO:AI deb's don't have libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio as a dependency; but that might have pulse as a dependency and some people don't want that.

Edit: Hmmm... still an occasional tiny glitch in the audio...
