| 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) | ||||
