More sound problems

[tZork]

I finaly got my linux desktop install working. Im running kubuntu 5.10 x86_64. i installed the nvidia drivers viathe visual apt-get interface. Sound is working.

I can start and run nexuiz, but the sound is dealyd alot, somethling liek 0.5 secs. i satrt nexuiz with -sndsterio -sndspeed 48000 (w/o the -48000 the sound is messed up)

Im not 100% sure, but i think the controls are laggin too..?

I've got that sound delay problem too if i run the -sdl in windows

A thing worth trying would be to compile the -glx version of the engine your self. This sounds like some problems with sdl as there are quite a few people with this problem and the -glx version helped there. However it would be even better to find a fix for sdl . I have to get my linux to run Nexuiz too next week when i have vacation

You can try to create a file ~/.asoundrc and put:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
        device 0
}

in there...

That might fix the delay (at least it does on some of the fedora machines at my university).

That fixed the dealy in a maffia kinda way.. it silanced it alltogether xD

Code: Select all

^7No available audio device
^7No available audio device
^7No available audio device
^7No available audio device
^7No available audio device
^7Failed to open the audio device!

Hmm i have seen such errors that were fixed by KadaverJacks ~/.asoundrc. Hmm do you have two sound cards installed?

[tZork]

yes, onbord nforce3 sound and a creative something. i use the onvord for gaming (the creative one as a old bord, i just use it for skype)

[esteel]

Just an idea, maybe

Code: Select all

        card 0
        device 0

has to be changed then.. Kadaverjack might know more.
I have linux running at home but currently only as a server as i did not yet find time to install those ati drivers and i DO NOT want to run linux without nexuiz so i did not yet have to play around with those things.. But this docu might help: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/do ... oundrc.php

Yes my thought too, ill have a look at that link later and see what i can cope up with. i guess its abt time i learn how to set up a linux desktop machine properly

I also have a pretty annoying problem with sound:
Sound is scrambled and I get a strange echo. This happens with differend kernel-, alsa-, sdl-, and Nexuiz versions.
I did not find a solution for it, but I get almost acceptable sound with setting
_snd_mixahead "1000" and running Nexuiz with a really strange -sndsterio -sndspeed 24000.
My soundchip is a VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97. Setting differend dxs_support-options also doesnt change anything.
