No sounds

[red-garden]

I need help to fix a no sound pb in spring.
Config : W7, sound OK in général and in the lobby, no sounds in spring.exe, maxsound is low, sound volume is 100.

here's what we can see in the logs :
[f=0000000] Loading Sound Definitions
[f=0000000] [Sound] parsed 27 sounds from gamedata/sounds.lua
[f=0000000] [Sound] Error: Unable to open audio file: IncomingChat
[f=0000000] [Sound] Error: CSound::GetSoundId: could not find sound: IncomingChat
[f=0000000] Game::LoadDefs (Sound): 4 ms

any idea ?

Thx for help

Give us the infolog. Paste the entire infolog on pastebin.com and give us the link. A partial infolog is worse and more annoying than no infolog.

Also do the same for with your springsettings.cfg and tell us which game you're trying to play.

[Forboding Angel]

No need for that, silentwings... The infolog would tell us that.

Now it's item 5: an "ask-and-run"

No need for that, silentwings... The infolog would tell us that.

Actually the infolog only shows the game he has, not the one he is trying to play :)

[Silentwings]

No need for that...

As I was writing that I was actually thinking "Forbs gonna say..." :D And then I thought, at least if the guy pulled out some game I'd never even heard of it would save me the trouble of...

One more info if it can help : sounds were working with the multi-thread version that I used before the V95.

thx for help

[f=0000000] [Sound] Max Sounds: 2

Try setting that to a higher value in spring settings: spring.exe->edit settings

Using configuration source: "C:\Users\admin\Documents\My Games\Spring\springsettings.cfg"
Using additional configuration source: "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\springsettings.cfg"

You have multiple springsettings.cfg. Please read this: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=31136 it may or may not help with this problem but its worth sorting out in any case. (If it turns out that you are using a lobby that creates springsettings.cfg in AppData then either update your lobby or complain about it)

-> this is not the cause of the problèm

try to rename/delete "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\springsettings.cfg"

having two config files mostly causes trouble / leads to (looking like) undefined behaviour.

Some more things:

- check that loudspeakers are turned on and not on mute

- check that windows has an audio device enabled, open device manager and check if there are any ! before any of the devices

- open sound settings and check that spring has not been muted, check that master volume has not been muted, check that sound device is not using digital audio

- check that volume setting in spring is above 0

-> All checked and sounds works well for any other softwares.
The problème is only in Spring.exe mono thread

Pb was finally fixed by reinstalling the portable version of spring in a new 'clean' directory.
