Ever since 0.82.7.1 I have been trying to get spring to work with sound, with no luck at all. Back around the time of 0.82.7.1 I was compiling from source, but yesterday on my fresh install of squeeze amd64 I installed 85.0 using the wheezy repos. Game runs almost perfect, still no sound.

I have been in and out of the irc many times and many people have told me to disable pulse, but how exactly do I do that? Spring itself is not calling/using pulse, but does detect it in my infolog.txt

If anyone could help me out as to what I should do next that would awesome! I don’t really get on spring anymore because of this reason, and rarely log on to my windows partition, but anyways all help would be appreciated!

how to remove pulseaudio from your system depends on your distro (and versions). it is independent of spring. i dont know how to do it for your system. maybe try google. pulseaudio is generally buggy, lots of people have to remove it (not only spring players), so there should also be guides that fit for you.

I have successfully purged pulse from my system, when I currently check the infolog.txt pulse is nowhere to be found. However there is still absolutely no sound in spring. What is the next step I should take?

try to use the other device, by putting this in your spring settings (~/.springrc):
... at least i hope it will work this way.

Just tried that, no luck at all

Solved by using this: http://springrts.com/wiki/FAQ:trouble#Sound


In the "backend" tab, keep only "ALSA" on the left column, then save. Done!
Side Note: ALSA is redirected to the PulseAudio layer when installed.

Thanks hoijui for the help in the irc :)
