Topic: Sound Problems - No Vocals (Read 2823 times)

Hey everyone. I'm having problems playing vocal sound files. I'm compiled on Linux, and everything else works, but when I go to play a voice file, I get the error:
_GetMusicData(): loading comm/urquan/urquan.mod
SpliceTrack(): loading comm/urquan/urqua027.ogg
SpliceTrack(): Mix_LoadWAV failed for comm/urquan/urqua027.ogg: Unrecognized file type (not VOC)
The rest of the music (including oggs for the bacground music in space, hyperspace etc) are fine.
Any ideas?
Additionally, the "lightning/Sylandro probe lightning" noise sounds awful and staticy on my sound card. Like a burst of static that's really grating to the ears. Any ideas again?
Here's more stats on my startup for the first question:
oberon:tbradley:~> /usr/local/games/uqm/bin/uqm

Hmm... You guys know how to make a guy fix a problem on his own...
The Install instructions now say that the most recent CVS version of SDL_mixer has to be downloaded. Either when I initially installed, It said mixer 1.2.4, or I was just dumb.
Anyways, just got sources via CVS (after searching for my error on Google and realizing it was an SDL mixer error), compiled, installed, and all is well.
Also that problem with staticy lightning seems to be gone.
And CVS sc2 is back today.
Life is good!

We figured that you were a smart guy -- thanks for not making liars out of us 
You should install OpenAL and link against it instead of SDL_mixer -- it enables lots of cool whiz-bang features like an oscilloscope and working slider bars when a critter is talking on the comms, and cures the problem where some sound effects play at 2x speed. And it only crashes randomly for no reason once every other hour, tops..

Does OpenAL actually work? I tried compiling against it the other day, and the music sounded horrible. (the voices seemed somewhat ok, but I didn't play for long) The version I'm using claims to be a recent CVS export (from 1/13), which I know is needed for uqm.

OK, I'll give OpenAL a shot and report back here...

Tried OpenAL.
I concur with Daniel here. The music sounds like crap. I see the oscilliscope. I don't believe skipping backward and forward works, but it's hard to tell because it sounded like I was listening to the game inside a blender.
For the record, I have a Sound Blaster 16 in my Slackware Linux server, and downloaded OpenAL from the CVS libraries.. oh.. about 6 hours ago. I read somewhere about OpenAL really only working with SB Lives.. This sound card is about 5 years old.
Here's the errors that seemed to spew out with all the sound files:
StreamDecoderTaskFunc(): buffer underrun when playing comm/comandr/comandr.mod, source 5
Going back to SDL until OpenAL gets out of the "Experimental Stage"
