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 ****

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

What version of pulse audio do you have installed (if any) and what version of OpenAL do you have installed?

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!
