Toby Haynes Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Everything was fine ... until I upgraded to the latest Ubuntu release. The sound is now playing back at half-speed - it's an octave lower than it should be. That makes the whole game feel .v.e.r.y. .s.l.o.w... Now Dropteam was the first thing I tested that had sound after the upgrade. It also appears to be the only app I have that has this issue although I have plenty more to check before calling it the only victim. Doom-3, QuodLibet (music player using GStreamer), the desktop sound effects all appear to be fine. Looking at the output in the DropTeam.log file, I see the following: </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> SOUNDMANAGER: Using default capture device SOUNDMANAGER: pCaptureDevice = 0x85744d8 SOUNDMANAGER: Error after opening capture device SOUND CONTEXT ERROR: ALC_INVALID_ENUM SOUNDMANAGER: Playing DropTeam.ogg as ../data/sound/DropTeam.ogg SOUND MANAGER: Allocated 54 voices</pre> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I just did the same update and I used to have a crackling sound with 6.06 - now all is fine with 6.10. Must be you. If I can help you with information then just tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Haynes Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Some hacking around switching libraries around and ... whoa! A fix! For those of you who also run Ubuntu AMD64, I give you the following recipe. I have a 32bit chroot environment installed as well as the 64bit, so I always options when faced with 32bit binaries. I moved the libopenal.so* libraries out of DropTeam/lib into a safe place. I then copied the 32bit version of libopenal.so into DropTeam/lib and created symbolic links in that directory to it to satisfy the requirements of the SpaceVikings binary: </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">cd wherever/you/installed/DropTeam cp /chroot/usr/lib/libopenal.so lib/ cd lib/ ln -s libopenal.so libopenal.so.0 ln -s libopenal.so libopenal.so.1</pre> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
