no sound in glx since installed new ubuntu

[liolak]

I there,
Im havin a sad issue since i have installed the latest ubuntu release. The sound will not work at all in the glx version. It works good in sdl but i dont want to use sdl because some buttons of my mouse dont work with it and there are some graphical artefacts that shows up . Sound is working in anything else i could think of testing (mp3s, movies, streaming )

when i start nexuiz-glx the folowing sequence of error shows up in the console:

Try as root:
chmod 777 /dev/dsp
chmod 777 /dev/mixer

[liolak]

ok i tried issuing those too command preceded by sudo , and after that ,started nexuiz. but still no sound and same error messages.
tx anyways for helping me

edit: after speaking with some other players , it seem im not the only one having this problem

[Alien]

Do you have esd, arts, pulseaudio, coreaudio or any other sound mixing thing running?
Other thing, would be to check whether you have .asoundrc in your home or /etc/asound.conf

[liolak]

hmm idk, how can i check that ?

[Alien]

Gnome has a process viewer or smth as a graphical interface.
You can also use ps in terminal.

[liolak]

ok after checking,
i dont have .asond in my home nor asound.conf in /etc

and the only process running in those that u listed that i have is pulseaudio

[Alien]

Can you try to close it and start nexuiz again?

[liolak]

OMG it works when i kill pulseaudio

u are my hero , im gonna go drink all the beer i have here in your honour

seriously u are the man, now what does that mean ? what is pulseaudio ?

[Alien]

Cheers. Alien also takes a large pint of strong dark beer (he likes dark one much more).

Pulseaudio is one of the thousand software mixers available for linux (I always try to stay away from them cause alsa can mix natively). If you intend to use it you need to route nexuiz through it somehow. I don't know how to do it for pulseaudio but it should have some help/manual. I suppose you can configure it somewhere in administration>sound or similar place.
