Bad sound when playing Amnesia
Hi,

I play Amnesia on my Slackware 13.37 (32-bit) almost without any problem. However, when music or effect sound are played with low frequency (when bombs explode, when stones falls on the ground; that kind of sounds), it sounds , well bad, like listening on 1 WATT speakers if you know what I mean. I use ALSA as sound driver and Intel ICH5 as soundcard.

When using mediaplayers like Spotify (through wine, using ALSA) the sound is good. Can i fix this sound issue somehow ?

This is my sound-spec:

bash-4.1$ uname -r
3.0.0-eXpander-3.0 #I use 3.0.0 kernel, but custom builded.

bash-4.1$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH5]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: ICH5 [Intel ICH5], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH5 - IEC958]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

bash-4.1$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.

Pulse Audio is not included in Slackware.

However, I did not use openAL either, stupid me...

Now i installed version 1.12.854 of openAL. I report back if it is better or not.



Sounds seems to work fine now.

Thanks for help! And thanks for your linux support! Really appreciated!
