Title: Funky linux sonic gurgle when --opengl
Post by: Dave Morse on March 07, 2003, 08:56:28 pm
I have an old, 450mhz machine, that's just on the edge of being able to play UQM - I have to try to engage when the planet is offscreen, lest I drop frames and get creamed.  However, I can speed things up considerably by using hardware OpenGL and launching uqm with the --opengl flag.  But when I do this the sound gets this funky reverb to it, kinda sounds like its gargling underwater.  (affected sounds include menu-yes and melnorme-primary-charging, overall about 30% of them)  This is with the default sound driver.  (I haven't succeeded in compiling with OpenAL yet).  I find this with both a CVS build from today and a ~1 month old build.  What now?

Can you copy and paste the diagnostic info from the console when you hear the gargling sound?
