Title: No Sound?
Post by: AndreR on July 14, 2006, 05:30:31 pm

Hm, little problem, guys...

I can't hear anything. I think, this is a problem. I use a "CreativeLabs SoundBaster Audigy 4"-card and SuSE Linux 10.1. Please help, thanks.

It may be the thing which I described -> there (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23049.msg267135#msg267135). Add to Your psclient.cfg the line:

Code: [Select]

SndSys.Driver.ALSA.SoundBufferms = 150
and try if it helps. You may need other value to get more stable sound.

Alternatively You can switch to oss by uncommenting the line

Code: [Select]

SndSys.Driver = crystalspace.sndsys.software.driver.oss
but oss driver works worse then alsa.

I am also SuSE 10.1 and when I installed the 015b client out of the box, the sound was working fine. However, after I run the "Updater", sound was down again, and when I enable the OSS line in the .cfg, it crashes again

Ok, I tried this

SndSys.Driver.ALSA.SoundBufferms = 150

and it works for me, sound is fine as it is supposed to be !

Added that (SndSys.Driver.ALSA.SoundBufferms = 150) line but there is still no sound.
Am on Fedora Core 3.
Updated to the latest planeshift version and ran fixlibs.

help... :'(

Try smaller and higher values for that parameter, maybe You will be lucky. If You are not, You will have to do what I did - compile CS/cel/PS from source according to compiling guide, then get and compile older version of Crystal Space's alsa driver (plugins/sndsys/renderer/software/drivers/alsa), revision 23869 from svn repository.

well i spose it doesnt matter much to me cncidering i can hear the sound at the loading screen and then at the character creation and selection...but soon as i get in game music/sound dont work at all

This is exactly what was happening for me, that's why I use older alsa driver, which works fine.

Post by: Capprion on August 01, 2006, 11:06:22 am

i use alsa or oss either one..dont matter, just seems to not work for some reason in this game

Title: Re: No Sound?
Post by: Wired_Crawler on August 01, 2006, 11:27:25 am

Maybe my statement wasn't clear enough. I had to compile older version of sound plugin (more precisely - alsa dirver) in Crystal Space (just look at my earlier post above).
OSS support in CS sucks :/.

We should be getting a OpenAL plugin soon (one or two updates away), so hopefully that will work better for people.

Update:
I moved to Kubuntu 6.06
Planeshift (latest) runs fine.
First time I ran it there was sound. I was so happy.
Second time - no more sound.
:(

But those new areas! Wow. Such wonder.

Oddly enough ... someone was having trouble getting sound working of FreeBSD as they dont have alsa at all apparantly.  Uncommenting oss in psclient caused it to crash... I on a stupid whim had him add


SndSys.Driver.OSS.SoundBufferms = 150

to psclient.cfg and then it started working...

don't know if it was related or not but perhaps its a temp fix for those totally out in the cold.

ok so where exactly should i add this line..or any lines the end? any spaces or dropdowns or whatever needed..iv never fooled round with files like this befor

 i just added it to the end and got sound working up until i actually enterd the world. makes no sence

Title: Re: No Sound?
Post by: Induane on August 30, 2006, 04:47:28 pm

Make sure the oss driver is uncommented then add that line anywhere.

errr lol you lost me when ya said commented

Title: Re: No Sound?
Post by: Induane on September 02, 2006, 06:43:18 am

no problem! :D

Open the file psclient.cfg in a text editor.  Look for these two lines:

; Linux - OSS sound system

;SndSys.Driver = crystalspace.sndsys.software.driver.oss

A comment simply means that a character or two is placed in front of a line to disable it... it means the line is ignored by psclient.  To uncomment remove the ; from the 2nd line so that it looks like this:

; Linux - OSS sound system
SndSys.Driver = crystalspace.sndsys.software.driver.oss
