No sound on Nexuiz

[holobyted]

Hey all... I tried playing Nexuiz and it runs fine, the graphics are superb. However, I can't get my sound to work at all.


The SDL version just about refuses to work, even with the export SDL_NOsomething="1" trick, and the GLX version gives me crappy sound and doesn't seem to respect the -sndspeed parameter. Already tried recompiling.


Currently using Ubuntu 5.10 on an 9NDA3J motherboard - onboard Realtek AC97 chip. Using ALSA.


Hope you guys can help

i start nexuiz with:
./nexuiz-glx -sndspeed 48000 -sndstereo

with sdl i have no sound and without the sndspeed parameter the sound is broken.

Ironic... I tried that last night and it didn't work. Go figure...

Thanks :p Is there a way to fix the SDL issue? I've heard most games use SDL nowadays.

For issues with SDL and sound....

Try installing libsdl1.2debian-all or libsdl1.2debian-alsa.. I think the only one installed by default is libsdl1.2debian-oss, and on my system oss doesn't really work very well (or at all)

Tried that last night... I was getting "can't create mcop directory" when opening Nexuiz.

for nexuiz tech support, try the nexuiz forums, with the search function you will perhaps directly find the solution

It's because you don't have appropriate libsdl, go to synaptic and search for "SDL".
For example, if your default audio driver is pulseaudio then you need to install the "libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio" if it's OSS then "libsdl1.2debian-oss" if it's ALSA then "libsdl1.2debian-alsa" and so on...

I had the same problem, this thread should help clarify: http://www.alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=37646#37646
