Bad sound when playing Amnesia - Mjomo - 07-31-2011
Hi,
I play Amnesia on my Slackware 13.37 (32-bit) almost without any problem. However, when music or effect sound are played with low frequency (when bombs explode, when stones falls on the ground; that kind of sounds), it sounds , well bad, like listening on 1 WATT speakers if you know what I mean. I use ALSA as sound driver and Intel ICH5 as soundcard.
When using mediaplayers like Spotify (through wine, using ALSA) the sound is good. Can i fix this sound issue somehow ?
This is my sound-spec:
bash-4.1$ uname -r
3.0.0-eXpander-3.0 #I use 3.0.0 kernel, but custom builded.
bash-4.1$ aplay -l

What version of pulse audio do you have installed (if any) and what version of OpenAL do you have installed?
RE: Bad sound when playing Amnesia - Mjomo - 07-31-2011
Pulse Audio is not included in Slackware.
However, I did not use openAL either, stupid me...
Now i installed version 1.12.854 of openAL. I report back if it is better or not.
Sounds seems to work fine now.
Thanks for help! And thanks for your linux support! Really appreciated!
