Title: [solved] game crashes on exit, also sound dies after a few seconds of launching Post by: carn1x on May 20, 2010, 07:00:32 AM Ubuntu 9.10, 0.8.1 and 0.8.5
Ok so everytime I exit OA, the game will hang as soon as I tell it to quit (includes typing quit in console) I ran from terminal to see what the last entry was before killing the process and it's always: Closing SDL audio device... I get this problem on Urban Terror most of the time, and I get it on Nexuiz rarely. Also, sometimes when I boot the game up I get about 5-10 seconds of very poor quality audio and then the audio just cuts out. Can't see anything in the terminal however that looks like an error regarding this. From googling I take it there are a number of other people who've hit this problem on Linux. I know it affects other q3 based games, so I'm not complaining at OA. However OA is the only one I want to play so that's why I'm asking here! Thanks for any help :) Title: Re: game crashes on exit, also sound dies after a few seconds of launching,sometimes Post by: carn1x on May 20, 2010, 07:21:54 AM Ok, solved via: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/224399
although for me the package was called libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio it seems to have solved both issues, although only the exit bug was 100% reproducable.

There is also another problem related to SDL audio (read here (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=3673.0)), but I don't know if it is also under Linux (i tested it under Windows), ad if it happens also with other ioquake3 derived games. I hope someone could fix this and DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Bugs]the other bugs (http://([b). Meanwhile, you could try to install and enable DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/OpenAL]OpenAL (http://([b)...

Installed libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio 2. used Code: s_useOpenAL "0" --> fixed. if you also have this problem of crackling sound and game-freezes on exit, but you already messed up your soundsettings, when trying to fix it, you might follow this guide, to get working sound settings back: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4928900&postcount=1 sidenote: the bug seems to be, that kubuntu and xubuntu don't use pulseaudio, but only ubuntu does, so the repository has libsdl1.2debian with a standard dependency to libsdl1.2debian-alsa. this means ubuntu has broken sound some times as it misses libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio but unly has libsdl1.2debian-alsa. if they would change the default dependency of libsdl1.2debian to libsdl1.2debian-pulsaudio istead of libsdl1.2debian-alsa, it would mean kubuntu an xubuntu would be broken instead of ubuntu ... so there's no hope of having this bug fixed anytime soon. its less a bug, but an organizational error - having several distributions rely on different dependencies of the same package. ...can't say anything about openAL. Falkland also suggested this solution here: http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=3458.msg31926#msg31926 but i did not quit understand it back then ^^ |
