I have a little trouble getting the sound to work under Linux
If I play the game with sound I get a repeating noise, as if the soundcard plays some random bits. It's quite annoying, noise silence, noise silence .... and beneath the normal sound effects or music. The game is playable, but only without sound.
I've downloaded some sdl-demos compiled them and run them, they work perfectly (with sound)....
A friend of me also has Debian, and approximately the same software/hardware configuration, he has no such problems with exult, it works perfectly.
It does not matter if I switch off sound or music or speech, if only one of them is switched on(in exult) I hear this noise. But no error or warning is posted by exult.
I have no idea where the noise comes from, exult is the only program which makes such sounds ("cat foobar.txt >/dev/dsp" doesn't count).
I compiled exult by myself, I installed the exult-debian paket ... nothing works.
I copied the game on my ext2 fs, and on a vfat fs ... nothing.
I installed the sound files which are optionally ... nothing.
I removed the PCI-networkcard and the PCI-scsi-card ... nothing.
I killed every other process ( but X, xterm and bash) ... nothing.
I even run exult as root ... nothing works.
{The noise sounds only if exult is running, of course
}The windows version works perfectly on my system, but I don't like win.....
Has anybody any idea where the error could be? thx
my system configuration:
intel celeron @ 100/850Mhz
creative soundblaster live value
(other pci devices: scsi-card, creative riva tnt2, 3com network card)
(motherboard: Abit BE6)
Debian Linux (woody) with kernel 2.4.18
sounddriver(emu10k) compiled into kernel
X-windows 4.02
(sorry for my bad english)
