sound

[SquidProject]

I cant get sound to work in PS for linux.  I have a creative soundblaster audigy and sound on my system is otherwise working fine.  I dont know which sound setting I should use in pssetup, so I tried all of them and none of them work.  A friend of mine is using the same card in linux and the same version of PS, and hasn\'t had this  problem.  Any ideas?

Have you checked your ingame Options menu settings for sound/music volume?

incedentally my ingame sound was turned down.  I turned it up, tho, and I still dont have sound.  pssetup gives me Error saving configuration \'\'. after it closes, but the next time i run it the sound is where i had left it.

If you are using alsa ( As any 2.6 kernel should be ), it should work ok when in \'software\' mode, use pssetup to select this.

Fire up alsamixer to check that the appropriate channels arent muted or have the volume set too low.

Alternatively, you could try installing the OpenAL sound library, and then choosing the \'openal\' option in pssetup rather than \'software\'. OpenAL should interface with whatever your native sound apis are if compiled and installed correctly so planeshift can delegate all the audio stuff to it.

My pssetup always exits with the \"Error saving configuration\" message even though the configuration is saved properly, I dont think this error is of concern.

hm, i tried both of those and nothing seems to work.  I am using my digital out, but so is my afforementioned friend.  Planeshift is rad with or without sound, so i\'ll try not to stress too much over this.  Still, there\'s that voice of perfectionism . . .
