kristi Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) This is the first time I have tried to play NWN on 2006.0.3 beta The game plays but with no sound. If I start it in a console, I get SDL: Audio timeout - buggy audio driver? (disabled) audio: Bad file descriptor Any ideas? Audio works fine with everything else (xine, tvtime, system, etc.) Audio is on mobo (NForce2) Works under 2005LE (just checked) tia!!

Aomighty Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Maybe install SDL just in case, though I think Bioware bundled it so it should work ok... Also try with the "artsdsp [nwn path]" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was also going to suggest updating / installing the latest SDL libs. If you're using KDE, try disabling the KDE sound server (it's in the KDE control panel, sorry - not at my box now and can't remember what it's called).

I tried artsdsp /mnt/nwn/nwn/nwn and voila!!! sound!!! Yes, I had to disable Config your Desktop/Sound/Sound system in 2005LE, but that made no difference here in 2006.0.3 Now can someone explain to me "why"? (Never used artsdsp!) tia!!!

kristi Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Prob fixed in 2006.0.4 . No need for artsdsp. Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I guess it doesn't automatically assume you're using the arts wrapper, though I also can't figure out why. I've had to do that with both Mandriva and Debian, so, dunno... Anyone know about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
