Music in main menu but no sounds in game.
Tue, 2009-02-17 23:05
If I start hedgewars-0.9.9 compiled from gentoo ebuild on amd64 I can hear music in the main menu, but if I start the game, I hear no sounds. Beck to the menu I can hear music again. I use ALSA as my sound system (tried to use pulse to no avail). Sound card in question is snd-hda-intel. Couldn't find anything related on the forum, so I decided to post.
Did anyone expreienced the same?
I'm experiencing the EXACT same problem, is there a solution for it?
-EDIT-
I'm on Slackware.
-EDIT2-
Got it, problem with dependencies (SDL, SDL_mixer)
Can you get more specific on this? What versions do you have installed now?
sound in game requires SDL mixer with ogg support.
If you're using gentoo:
USE="vorbis" emerge media-libs/sdl-mixer

I have the same issue. But, recently I've noticed something.
When I launch any media player (e.g 'mocp', 'audacious') and play sound file then start Hedgewars and the game initializes sound successfuly. In this stage I can close media player and play hedgewars with sound in game. ~/.hedgewars/debug0.txt contains following:
Since, I launch hedgewars with a script:
In other cases there is no sound in game, only in menu.
I think when the game is initializing sound, it just does not find the device working (or busy).
P.S.: Arch Linux, ALSA 1.0.19, SDL_mixer 1.2.8, libvorbis 1.2.1
Thats weird, I have sort of the opposite problem on my Ubuntu 8.04 install of hedgewars. If I want to play the game with sound I have to exit any tabs or programs (youtube, amarok, vlc, etc.) that use sound before I start the game.
I'm using Arch Linux now.
Sound works when I'm playing a music in Amarok.
Otherwise, it doesn't.
SDL_sound, SDL_mixer and all other SDL dependencies are installed.
The issue is still there with 0.9.10, starting amarok helps though.
It only happens using ALSA.
I use OSS now and that problem is gone for me.
Please fix this!
I'm experiencing same problem in Arch Linux too (x86_64, KDE4 with phonon to manage sound and ALSA).
Sounds familiar?
Have a melon.
