pulseaudio + openal

[fabioamd87]

ok, the game is finally installed, but when I start I "frequency to higth" or someting similar, (I don't know how to translate) I have a Nforce/Nvidia 6150 chipset.

ok I put fulscreen=false and I get another error:

if I make a file called .alsoftrc.conf in my home directory and put in it:

drivers= alsa

I get in terminal:

Code: (Select All)

[fabio@abuarch Overture]$ ./penumbra

in repositories and in AUR there is nothing called libasound

[fabioamd87]

Progress:
first) If I delete .asoundrc and kill pulseaudio I can start the game correctly.

second) The Out of range problem is solved by putting 1280x1024 in the config file instead of 800x600, I don't know the main reason...
(but a feature to autodetect the resolution would be nice)

Now the problem is that:
1)Everytime I've must kill Pulseaudio.
2)I can't get Surround ound.

you need to restart your system... Your loaded kernel nvidia driver is different from what is installed.. AS long as it says "API Mismatch" the game won't run (no game will actually). I ran into this myself on Fedora 11 when I had upgarde from nvidia drivers version 180 to 185 without restarting.

[fabioamd87]

The Nvidia driver is not a problem, I think the game don't start because of the
"AL lib: alsa.c:344: Could not open playback device 'default': No such file or directory"
infact if I kill pulseaudio and remove .asoundrc (that is configured with pulseaudio) the game start...
