ufo alien invasion: no sound
« on: May 11, 2010, 05:47:08 am »
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!

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?

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

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

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.
