Crackly Sound

[stonedyak]

I'm experiencing 'crackly' sound while playing the game. Sorry, I'm not sure how better to describe it :-) It's most noticeable during the music when the game starts and during Philip's voiceover in the intro. The crackle is present during the whole game, though it's not so noticeable and I got used to it.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.04, my sound card is onboard my Gigabyte motherboard - described by the system as '82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller'. The driver used is 'HDA Intel' . I'm running a fast Core 2 Duo with a decent graphics card, so speed is definitely not a problem. I don't get any audio problems with any other apps. However, I did install Neverball (another OpenGL / OpenAL / SDL app) and it had exactly the same audio problems.

So I guess it may be a bug in the libraries or Ubuntu, but I thought I'd mention it since it does give a bit of a bad impression when first running the game.
