Sound Lag

[ion]

I'm having a small (but still irritating) lag in the game.
I've installed the game on ubuntu 7.10 trough appget. Current version is 2.3-2.

Is there a solution for this?

I get huge sound lag with esd and artsd. In case you are using one of these sound daemons you could try without.

On nvidia chipsets the default sound buffer size from alsa is rather large, yielding about a half second lag for a full buffer. Try reducing the value of the _snd_mixahead cvar - I use "0.08".

Thanks for your tips, but so far i haven't managed to solve the problem

It seems that i can't disable artsd, because some KDE programs, like amarok are using it.
Soudcard is SB live 5.1. I'm using only stereo channels though. Ihaven't faced sound lag problems in any other game so far. Maybe this is the only game using ALSA that i've tested. F.E Sounds in Enemy Territory are ok.

well Enemy Territory uses OSS, not alsa so.

You might want to give pulseaudio a try although I wouldn't recomend doing this unless you know what you're doing...

I was having the same problem until I added some lines to my xorg.conf file. I am on my ARCHOS right now, so I can't give the link right now. Until then, I suggest searching for Ubuntu input lag.

Paste this code in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and restart Nexuiz:
[go to terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and then paste, then save"

Code: Select all

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "mouse"
        Driver     "mouse"
        Option     "CorePointer" "True"

        Option     "Emulate3Buttons" "False"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "kbd"
        Driver     "keyboard"
        Option     "CoreKeyboard" "True"

        Option     "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option     "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option     "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option     "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"

fail.
He is talking about audio lag, not input lag.

Supposedly in Ubuntu sound lag is related to input lag, because it worked for him.

Weird linux stuff.
