Hi

Just a general question, is it possible to run oolite without a soundcard?

I am having a problem getting sound working on my, Dell dimension 8250, PC
Oolite does not respond and when i type "oolite" on the command line it throws a fit
"segmentation fault ... no audio device found"

Is there a way i can configure oolite maybe to start without a soundcard?

Regards Mike

Anyone who knows if this is possible?

It's been a while since I've been here...

It is possible to play Oolite without an audio device.

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=disk
export SDL_DISKAUDIOFILE=/dev/null
./oolite

Hopefully

Hi guys. Thanks for your info. I just fixed it right now- meaning i can play Oolite for the first time on a proper PC ( maybe i will be able to manual dock a bit easier now too

)

Here goes:

This little line-

" sudo modprobe snd-dummy "

gives you a dummy sound driver, and Oolite now starts up without any audio hardware

And by adding:

" snd-dummy "

to my "/etc/modules" file (i run debian) ; it starts up every time -

A big thank you to members of my local LUG - for that
