sound problems
« on: February 19, 2004, 12:29:27 am »
Whenever I start up planeshift a fatal error message pops up. It says crystalspace.sound.driver.waveour: waveOutOpen: 00000004 resource already allocated by another program . Just a wild guess...but I\'m assuming this would have something to do with the fact that I don\'t have sound ;) I have had continual problems with sound on this computer for a while not, such as it cutting out whenever there are lots of processes going on at once. I can generally get it to start up again with some work...could this be a sound card issue? I\'m clueless....someone help me....

I\'ve had errors like this before, but only when another program currently had use of my soundcard (this was back on my old comp- crappy soundcard also). If all the channels your card can support are already being used, PS will throw a fit that there\'s none available for it to use. So, my advice here would be, load PS first if you want to be playing music in the background or anything. :) That way, PS gets the priority and other programs usually won\'t complain.

If you\'re not running any other programs when you try loading PS, it may be that you need to perhaps update your drivers.

Alternatively, you can go into the cfg files and disable sound in PS altogether. If you open psclient.cfg and put a ; infront of any line that mentions something to do with sounds, that should do it (I hope- not tested).
