Help with sound

Sacksquatch · December 17, 2020, 11:33

Can't get sound to work on 4.2.1.

I run Mint 20, but I have also tried this on Manjaro and MX. Have tried with wine-stable and wine-staging. Weird part is that sound works on Sil, and other RL I launch with wine (Infra Arcana, IVAN, Zorbus, etc) but it refuses to work with Angband, and thus the FAangband beta. I can't even get sound to work on the Angband SDL 2 I compiled a few months ago, which used to work just fine when I ran MX Linux.

Why is Angband the only one I can't get sound for? Sad day.

Any help would be appreciated. Sound is indeed enabled in-game.

Did a live boot of Manjaro on a different computer, installed wine, fired up angband, enabled sound, still nothing.

Is there a dependency I'm missing?

I suspect it may be a dependency thing - I have trouble getting it to work on OpenSUSE.

I wonder what happened? It was working a few months ago.

Why use the Windows version on Linux anyway?

It's not working on my linux compiles either. Though I haven't tried a fresh compile yet, been using ones I made a few months ago.

Thanks for planting that in my head Pete. A fresh compile, and I'm back in business. I thought maybe it was the sdl2 and dependencies, but the previous compile still doesn't work.

Either way I'm happy, as I have a solution: "just recompile the darn thing".
