Error message concerning OpenAL (106 bytes, text/plain)

Description alan 2003-06-02 23:53:33 EDT
After applying the patch from 2199 to 2225, audio has stopped working for
UT2003.  I've tried changing setting audio to safe mode in the gui, editing
Default.ini to replace "AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem" with
"AudioDevice=ALAudio.GenericAudioSubsystem" and echoing "(define devices '(sdl))"
 into ~/.openalrc all to no effect.  I'm not certain how to troubleshoot
further.  Sound worked well before the patch, and still works well for other
applications.

  Bus  1, device   7, function  0:
    Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 2).
      IRQ 5.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=12.Max Lat=128.
      I/O at 0xc000 [0xc03f].

Is there something specific I should try to gather more info?  TIA.

(btw, i was very happy to see that joining a password server from linux no
longer requires the console command workaround.  thanks!)

Error message concerning OpenAL

I am experiencing this behaviour too. While looking at the file UT2003.log I
found that ut2k3 can't find opanal.so. Using 'strings' to go through all libs I
found a reference to 'libopenal.so.0' in the file 'openal.so' but not
openal.so.

Icculus: is it possible that you have linked against your system's OpenAL and
commented out the loading of openal.so ?

i also have this problem with patch 2225, using fedora core 1
Comment 3 Luca De Rugeriis 2004-03-20 10:49:16 EST
Same deal here. Fedora1 UT2003 v2225, no sound after upgrading.
Luckly using the latest cvs openal fixed the thing for me.
I think this bug could be marked as fixed.
Comment 4 Ryan C. Gordon 2004-03-22 08:48:26 EST
Leaving bug open, as it's still a bug.  :)

The reason this has stopped working is because of a glibc conflict; the
openal.so in the 2225 patch was not built on the Holy Build Box like the rest of
the game.

There will be one more patch for ut2003/linux to incorporate various Unix fixes
that were made for the Mac port, and I'll correct this bug in there.

Closing out old bugzilla entries that have probably been irrelevant/fixed for a
long time. If this issue still applies and you still care, please reopen the bug.

Thanks,
