thesonic1 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi Everyone, Hopefully someone can help me. I can not run any games using CVSCedega. I have installed them using cedega and loki installers and both complete fine. The problem occurs when I try to run them. Like MaxPayne2 for example - it starts fine and I get the Video setting screen prompt I click play and imediately get this error: Exception in engineInit:X_SharedDB: There was nothing inside "Sounds", database incomplete So I thought maybe that game was just bad so I installed Call of Duty using loki installer and tried to run it, here is what I got: err:module:BUILTIN_LoadModule loaded .so but dll winealsa.drv still not found So I think it is safe to say that I have a sound issue. But I am not sure what to do to fix it. I am running ALSA and it starts at startup and I have Sound in X and in native games like Doom3. So I am not sure what is happening here - Here is my cvscedega config file as it refers to sound: [Wineserver] ;; This option indicates if Cedega should accelerate ;; interprocess communication (AIC) between the client ;; and server. "SHMWineserver" = "Y" [WinMM] "Drivers" = "winealsa.drv" ;"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv" "WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv" "MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv" [wineoss] "UseMMap" = "N" "FullDuplex" = "N" ;; Specify a mapping for what digital audio devices to use ;"dsp0" = "/dev/dsp0" ;"mixer0" = "/dev/mixer0" [winealsa] ;; This option allows you to configure Cedega to write directly ;; to memory on the sound card rather than having to use the ;; slower route through the kernel. "UseMMap" = "Y" ;; These options allow you to specify what ALSA sound devices ;; Cedega should use. Appropriate selection of these options ;; can allow you to select a secondary sound card or a plugin. ;"pcm0" = "hw" ;"ctl0" = "hw" Does anyone know where I should start? Running Mandrake 10.1 with 2.6 kernel and GF4 Ti4200 vid card. Any help would be appreciated, as you can tell I am kinda new at gaming in linux, but really would like to get it going so I can finally kick the winxp habit for good. Thanks in Advance, TheSonic1 :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowchaser Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 sounds like something is missing from the cvsCedega build.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesonic1 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I tried with old version 4.2.1 RPM and 1.3.2 point2play and got the exact same error messages. So I do not think it is CVS issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I do not think it is CVS issue <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i tend to agree.. try to disableing arts {sound server} in kde and try playing a game.. arts tend to conflict with some audio programs... all try playing a game from gnome to see if the issue is with KDE.. but i think the problem might be arts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesonic1 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Disabled the sound system option is the KDE Sound system config screen in 10.1 - same error - even restarted to see if the setting was still disabled and it was. Interestingly I did a search for winealsa.drv and I have no file by that name - do you know where it is supposed to be located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesonic1 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 also: Just logged int ICEWM and ran from console as root - same error - I am sure it has something to do with winealsa.drv - as I looked at the startup script after trying to run both maxpayne2 and cod from the console as root as both refference that file - and I can not seen to find where that is supposed to be located Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesonic1 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I got the sound going by changing the config to run OSS instread of ALSA in the config file - maxpayne2 still will not run says the "Sounds" database is incomplete error but COD runs however, when you exit it locks up - need to reboot to free it up - any further ideas?

thesonic1 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Also, does anyone use Mandrake 10.1 with the full version of Cedega (4.3)- maybe it is worth the subscription to fix all these issues? Also, since disabling and re-enabling ARTS - my bootup and shutdown sounds are no longer present - anyone know how to fix this too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
