« on: November 16, 2009, 10:31:16 pm »
First of all, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I tried editing the pssetup.cfg, and switching to the software sound renderer, which didn't work. I soon found that the openal library that came with planeshift was either outdated, or linked to the wrong version. I don't know if this is a bug of some sort, but the following fixes any issue of not having sound in planeshift:
first, back up the original libopenal that came with planeshift:
now link to the correct libopenal
now sound should work

Code: [Select]
ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 /opt/PlaneShift/libs/libopenal.so.0now sound should work
it runs all modern games at 1024*768 w/ no problems.....America\'s Army 2.0, Enenmy Territory, etc. but you still need to upgrade your ram, because w/o enough ram, the card won\'t do you much good. you should be able to find a 512mb stick of pc-2700 ram for about $100
