Post subject:  No sound, can't alt-tab linux
Hey guys,

I purchased this game last friday, and I haven't been able to get the sound going. I am not sure how to diagnose this kind of issue. There aren't any errors, the client runs fine, there's just no sound.

I am running Linux Mint 17 Debian Edition, 64bit. I use a USB headset for audio. Odly enough, my laptop is running the same version of mint, just not debian edition, and the sound work there! Just the laptop is too slow, it doesn't run the client well at all.

I haven't had any sound issues with steam games yet, I'm clueless.

If it's any idication as to what the issue might be, I can't alt-tab out of the game, and all my keyboard hotkeys seem to stop responding as well.

Any help would be great,
Thanks!

Can you post ~/.running_with_rifles/rwr_game.log to pastebin.com or support@modulaatio.com? There should be some info about the sound devices OpenAL detects on your system, would be interesting to know which they are and which one gets used.

gotcha, I appreciated that tip, thanks! I found in rwr_game.log

Code:
20:06:13:                                         : initializing audio
20:06:14:                                         : audio devices found: 4
20:06:14:                                         : audio enabled
20:06:14:                                         : 0: PulseAudio Software
20:06:14:                                         : 1: ALSA Software
20:06:14:                                         : 2: OSS Software
20:06:14:                                         : 3: PortAudio Software
20:06:14:                                         : using device 255


then realized there was a config.xml file. :lol: ... right there in the folder with the log file. I found the

Code:
    <audiodevice value="255" />


and changed it to

Code:
    <audiodevice value="1" />


8-) cheers!

Nice! 255 attempts to pick "Generic Software" from the device list, but it is in fact just Windows that benefits from this. Failing to find that device on Linux, it'll resort to picking the first device at index 0.

I'm guessing it would be ALSA in most cases that should be used automatically on Linux, I'll change it to behave that way.

Thanks!
