2.60B on linux? sound issue

[HutiKuti]

i have ubuntu 16.04 64bit and i have tryed many ways to get work 2.60b.

issue is no sound and all sdl-sound packs are outdated nowadays.

my knowledge is not enough to solve this!

i can still play etlegacy 2.75 but that dosent support ETpro.

This should help Long Link

 

Usually it was missing sdl libs for et that caused no sound. Check if your system has proper volume on specific programs, and if it goes through right sound device.

nope, i have tryed that already & that nullkey is outdated and playadeb is also outdated, also i have try using wine but then i have laggy mouse issue but sound works great .

i dont know what libs i can install anymore i have propably all of them.

sound manager have digital & analog option to choose and non of working.

system is running now pulseaudio 8.0 should i try alsa?

 

------- sound initialization -------

Have you tried setting the sound quality to maximum in ET? Then restart ET (snd_restart might work too)

When I played ET on Linux, I had the same issue. There IS a fix, but that was so long ago, and so fresh for many people it was easy to find. Just keep digging, it's out there

[HutiKuti]

those fix are out of date, i searching things now and i found 2.60b need to use alsa driver & newest linux distros have pulseaudio .

and i found magig line:

 

sudo modprobe snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss
sudo apt update

here link: https://superuser.com/questions/1003665/how-to-select-which-sound-output-device-to-use-for-dev-dsp-oss-emulation#1003702
 

this emulate alsa driver and i got sound work now, im not sure need to do this command every reboot

other option might be a really old kernel which have already alsa support , i didnt test that.

so i think this is solved now.
