| Summary | 0012781: No music while playing the game on Linux | ||||
| Description | On DF 50.12 on Linux (Ubuntu version 22.04.4 LTS), there is no audio after starting a game and loading into a fortress. There is music in the main menu and while the game loaded, but as soon as the game loads into a fortress, there is no audio at all, even while doing nothing for a few minutes. Pressing ESC and going into the menu while in a fortress shows the track playing as "Classic DF Title Theme - Tarn Adams." But, there is no audio. This happens every single time the game opens. I tried to tab out of the the game to test if the audio was still working on my pc while the game is running, and it was. This was a completely unmodded game with no modifications. Just something to add: I have never played DF before and this was done at the request at someone else. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Install the packages SDL2, SDL2_image, SDL2_mixer as well as DF 50.12 on an Ubuntu or Debian Linux installation 2. Open the game, and start a fortress, and there will be no sound in game | ||||
| Additional Information | This was tested on a completely fresh Ubuntu installation (version 22.04.4 LTS) on a PC with an i9 and a RTX 2080 Ti. The audio worked perfectly fine on the computer, and this was tested using YouTube on Firefox with cheap USB headphones. The only changes I made to the base Ubuntu installation were installing SDL2 packages (SDL2, SDL2_image, SDL2_mixer). The audio servers seemed to be ALSA and PulseAudio, the Ubuntu defaults. I tried removing the files libfmod_plugin.so and libfmod.so.13 from the DF directory at the suggestion of someone else, but there still was no audio. When launching the game, the terminal spat this out: Loading audio...libfmod.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryFailed to load fmod, trying SDL_mixer...Audio loaded successfully!Loading bindings from prefs/interface.txt Loading bindings from data/init/interface.txt Unknown binding: UNITLIST_SORT_PROFA Unknown binding: UNITLIST_SORT_PROFB Broken unicode: [KEY:{] Broken unicode: [KEY:|] (The broken unicode thing continued for a long time) | ||||

For any end users stumbling upon this issue, you can work around it for now by putting `LD_PRELOAD=libfmod.so.13 %command%` into Dwarf Fortress'es launch options under the game properties. --- I see this same issue in 50.14 on Arch Linux. However, if I LD_PRELOAD the libfmod.so.13 packaged with Dwarf Fortress to force it to load before the game, the *audio* does work. Based on this, I took an strace of launching the game, and it reveals an issue: openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/wsltoad/.vs/dwarves/fmod/lib/x86_64/glibc-hwcaps/x86-64-v4/libfmod.so.13", 365│O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Dwarf Fortress is trying to load the library from various development and system directories, but not from the installation directory. It looks like the Dwarf Fortress binary has an absolute path to a development directory as an rpath instead of a relative directory. From readelf -d dwarfort: 0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH) Library runpath: [$ORIGIN:/home/wsltoad/.vs/dwarves/steam] |
