ufo alien invasion: no sound

[gbezerra]

Hi everyone,

I just installed ufoai on ubuntu 10.04, but the game runs with no sound. I believe I have all the libraries installed but I might be missing something. I get the following message when I start the game:

------- sound initialization -------
SDL_mixer version: 1.2.8
Unable to open audio
SND_Init failed

Any help?

Thanks!

try to deactivate pulse audio

SOmething i dont understand, is the problem come from
linux, sdl, or the game?

[gbezerra]

I disabled pulseaudio (boy that was hard, this thing just sticks itself to the system!)

Nothing happened, though. I still get exactly the same message and the sound doesn't work. What else could it be?

[Mattn]

you can try to change the sound rate in the option menu

[gbezerra]

I've already tried that too. Change the frequency and restart the sound, with and without pulseaudio. Still no sound...

S_Init: No available audio device

are other sdl games working with sounds?

[greenif]

are other sdl games working with sounds?

I do not know any other SDL game. For example?

Sound work perfectly and package media-libs/sdl-sound-1.0.3 installed.

I got sound working by running this to launch the game:

cd /usr/local/games/ufoai
esddsp --mmap ./ufo.x86_64

I had the same problem with Linux Mint 11.

The solution was to install

libsdl1.2debian-alsa

I hope that helps anybody else who has this issue.
