Title: Sound Init Failure Post by: moszer on June 05, 2008, 12:27:31 PM When starting openarena I get the following output
.......... ...loading 'scripts/weapon_plasma.shader' ...loading 'scripts/weapon_railgun.shader' ...loading 'scripts/weapon_rocketlauncher.shader' ...loading 'scripts/weapon_shotgun.shader' ----- finished R_Init ----- ------ Initializing Sound ------ ALSA lib control_hw.c:123:(snd_ctl_hw_card_info) SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_CARD_INFO failed: Bad file descriptor ALSA lib confmisc.c:680:(snd_determine_driver) snd_ctl_card_info error: Bad file descriptor ----- CL_Shutdown ----- RE_Shutdown( 1 ) It stays on a black screen after this until I kill it. Openarena Version = 0.7.0-2 via Ubuntu apt This is on Ubuntu 8.04 installed on a CF-51 Toughbook using audio (via lspci): "Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" The kernel module for this guy is "snd_intel8x0" Sounds works just find playing ogg and mp3 as well as videos and such. Everywhere else I've tried anyway. The game DID launch and work great before I had the sound modules in my kernel, once I added those and recompiled it does this. The kernel is 2.6.24-18. I poked around for command line options to disable sound but didn't see any. I nuked my ~/.openarena folder and tried again, No luck. Nothing in the FAQ about this.. Google search is a bust. Removed the package through apt and reinstalled. Powersave was enabled in /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec so I disabled that.. no go. I'm out of ideas so.. I'm here, do you guys have any idea what I can do? Thanks!
