ALSA & Pulseaudio problem

[Urkle]

The # to use depends on your installation of openal. if you are using the openalsoft you should have an openalinfo binary that you can run.. OR look at the hpl.log/launcher.log if it was generated as it also lists the order.

Also, if the openal can't open a sound device then the game falls back to the default device (in your case Geez alsa). Recall that many current linux distributions are disabling OSS.

One option is to switch to the included openal by running the following in the game directory.
64bit

Code: (Select All)

ln -sf all/libopenal.so.1 libs64

32bit

Code: (Select All)

ln -sf all/libopenal.so.1 libs

Another option is to create an ~/.alsoftrc file and override the enabled audio devices.

Code: (Select All)

drivers = alsa,oss
