No sound/music in .9.9 Linux version

(1/5) > >>

Vita:
 I haven't seen a thread yet on there being no sound in the Linux version, which makes this game a lot more difficult. I'm running 9.10 Ubuntu, and I've tried all 3 terminal files that come with the linux version of DoomRL, but none of them have sound. The .mid files for the music don't have any sound when I play them with a music player, but the sound files do.

Here are some things to try:

0. Ensure your sound system is working in the first place.
1. Install the missing libSDL mixer using apt-get.sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2
2. Install Timidity using apt-get.sudo apt-get install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra
3. Open up doomrl.ini and make sure that "Sound = TRUE" and "Music = TRUE" are inside.

Do let us know if this works.

Vita:
 I'm getting no sound nor music.

Even after installing the SDL mixer and Timidity and fixing the doomrl.ini file?

Which sound system are you using?  If I recall correctly, Ubuntu uses ALSA by default, and maybe you should check to see if the volume is turned up/not muted.  Also check that the PCM section is not muted and has a non-zero volume setting.

Also, did the game run fine (sans the sound/music) or did it crash unexpectedly/not load at all?

Vita:
 Yeah, I installed the SDL mixer, Timidity, and fixed the ini file.
 I'm pretty sure I'm using ALSA, since I don't remember changing it, and using alsamixer effects my sound. The volume is at max and so is the PCM section, and I made sure to mute and then unmute both of them.
 For some reason, after I installed the SDL mixer and Timidity, the DoomRL I currently had would not start up - it would just flash for a second, then throw me back to the terminal, or if I ran it outside of a terminal then it would just close immediately. Redownloading and running from that seems to work, but still sans sounds/music despite checking the volume.
