[fix] Sound issues on Ubuntu 9.10

Post by Fastdeath »

I found a final fix for sound issues on Ubuntu 9.10, install the following packages:

32bit
libopenal1_1.11.753-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
libopenal-dev_1.11.753-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

64bit
libopenal1_1.11.753-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
libopenal-dev_1.11.753-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Relogin/reboot after you have installed that packages.

Please report if this works for you!

Update 2:So far so good with their lastest 1.12 source/release on Lucid Lynx!
Update:After further testing my issues are still there. :stare:

So far this has worked great! I definitely recommend linux users to update their openal-soft drivers!

Launchpad link which some people may prefer:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/op ... ld/1453101

* Note, those are lucid debs, which I didn't notice until Fastdeath pointed it out, but they seem to work fine on Karmic *

Update: Yes, this doesn't completely fix things, but it greatly reduced the frequency that audio break's and reduces freezing on exit.

Dunno if this helps anyone, but I will throw it in this thread as well.

http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup ... plications
Latest OpenAL Soft, an implementation of OpenAL, supports PulseAudio starting from release 1.8.466. By default OpenAL Soft will try first to open ALSA and OSS, so it will clash with the previous ALSA workaround. Instead OpenAL Soft should be configured to use PulseAudio via /etc/openal/alsoft.conf:

drivers = pulse

Or alternatively via the user-specific ~/.alsoftrc using a similar line.

For older OpenAL, editing ~/.openalrc to look like following seems to work nice:

(define devices '(sdl))

Or alternatively

(define devices '(alsa))
(define alsa-device "pulse")
and it ends here.

Is working here for 2.2.4 and trunk r10515.

EDIT: The snippet from the Pulseaudio guys Buginator pasted makes things worse: WZ hangs at start (only tested for trunk r10515 here without the other openal packages).

Had the same problem with sound issues - stuttering after about 15mins, especially when there is lots of activity on the screen, followed by massive slow downs.

Using PCLinuxOS 2010, which has openal 0.0.8 or some such horrible version out of the box.

Downloaded and compiled openal-soft-1.12.854, built this (no dramas compiling), and re-linked warzone2100 (rm src/warzone2100 && make && make install)

Tested it pretty thoroughly - creating hundreds of units, and let the enemy gather forces as well, then send everything in for a 2 hour long shoot em up fest. No sound issues at all - works great.

If you can upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 there all the issues are gone.
