[Solved] 1.74.2: Oolite disables sound on ubuntu
Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:36 pm
I wanted to play Oolite on a computer with Ubuntu since it has a better GPU than I have.
However, as soon as I start Oolite, the sound is somehow disabled, system-wide. It's not set to mute in the settings or anything, it just stops working immediately. Also, it takes a while until the sound works again after I quit Oolite.
Nothing in the syslog or user.log (other places where I should check?), nothing unusual in the Oolite latest.log.
I remember playing Oolite on that computer - WITH sounds - but I think that was 1.74.1.
Edit: Problem solved. I reinstalled pulseaudio and Oolite, then followed the steps for the speech synthesis workaround. Now not only the speech synthesis works (even if I don't like it on Linux and promptly deactivated it), but all the sound works again.
