Title: No sound anymore after last update
Post by: astron on January 21, 2007, 11:52:48 am

Since last update, sound is not playing anymore.

I fixed it by removing libs/libasound.so.2 and replacing it with a symbolic link to the system lib ln -s /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 libs/
System :
Mandriva 2007, Linux kernel 2.6.17 SMP, Xorg 7.1.1+AIGLX
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT + driver 1.0-9746
Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
Planeshift Crystal Blue 0.3.017

Hello everyone.

I also don´t have any sound in PlaneShift. I downloaded and installed CBV0.3.018. I got the following error message in the console after starting the game :

Code: [Select]

./psclient
DEBUG: Sound System Software Renderer Initializing...
ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
I´m very new to Linux so sorry if i missed some informations you need.

I have the following system :

Fedora Core 6, kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.i686, GNOME v2.16.0
Intel Pentium 4 @ 3GhZ
NVIDIA GeForceFX 5900XT
Audio device : Sennheiser USB Headset (ALSA Mixer)
PlaneShift Crystal Blue 0.3.018

Edit :

I got around to the problem by following a tip from another post. I just deleted the "libasound.so.2" and finally found my missing sound :)

hmm, I shall improve the installer a bit to detect whether libasound is installed by the system for a future release. So it should only install libasound if there's no support for it.
