No sound

[trideceth12]

I am reposting this request after lots of stuffing around and searching for answers but getting nowhere:

Ubuntu 9.10
spring-engine 0.81.2-0ubuntu1
springlobby 0.63-0ubuntu1


1) When I run spring directly (i.e. not through springlobby) sound works perfectly.

2) When I launch springlobby usually sound becomes disabled in all applications, including springlobby and when it launches spring.

Sometimes springlobby randomly allows other programs to run sound but spring, launched from springlobby, has never had sound.

When I posted elsewhere:

old versions of SL uses SDL audio to access the sound card, make sure SDL audio is set to use alsa+dmix or pulseaudio, if it's set to OSS or alsa with direct card access, it will lock the sound card

if it's a recent version, everything i said applies instead for openal

I thought I had fixed this by running

Code: Select all

aoss springlobby

This was because I read that running OSS applications under ALSA could cause this problem unless you emulate OSS. Anyway bottom line is: Problem stayed the same.

I dont know how to configure SDL or openAL and I need some help understanding what I need to do to get this to work... Pleeeeeeeeease help.

Thanks
