How do I disable the new sound engine.

Post by xyz »

Is there a way to disable the new sound feature introduced in 0.84? It is broken for linux.

I have a fedora 16 64bit machine with a Creative audigy 2 card, and the new sound system makes the game extremely choppy even though the reported FPS is 60. On the same machine 0.82 used to get 140 FPS.

Thanks.

see version 84.0 FAQ:
Constant struttering under linux (pulseaudio & EAX):
open "/etc/openal/alsoft.conf", replace "#excludefx =" with "excludefx = eaxreverb"
