No sound on Fedora 16

[Smivs]

Hi all,
My friend John has just upgraded to Fedora 16, and has no sound on Oolite.

...the sound settings applet registers oolite as a source when it's running but I get no sound from it.

I do know he is using pulseaudio. Does anyone have any ideas?

This happened on and off for me on F16, but not exactly consistently, and I never got around to trying to fix it.

Hi Smivs.

It could be a permission issue in /dev/snd files.
Would it be possible to add the problematic login-user in the group "audio" and restart pulseaudio?

If this doesn't do the trick (leave the user in the "audio" group)
try Fedora's SDL and eSpeak libraries.
1. Get libSDL, libSDL_mixer and libespeak from Fedora repository.
2. Rename the related Oolite libs, to force Oolite use the system's libs.
(Oolite folder may differ depending to user installation)

Code: Select all

$ cd /opt/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib
$ mv libSDL-1.2.so.0 libSDL-1.2.so.0.oolite
$ mv libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0.oolite
$ mv libespeak.so.1 libespeak.so.1.portaudio
$ mv libespeak.so.1.portaudio libespeak.so.1.portaudio.oolite
