Hi!
Some weeks ago, witout rebooting, the sound in some games and apps stop working. The problem is that not in every app. For example, y could hear music in flash, openttd, or audacity. But in other software, there is not sound at all. I think the problem is sdl-related (if it whas something of /dev i assume i sould not hear any sound at all).
The second problem is that i can't see any error anywhere. For example, when i run quake:
S_Startup: initializing sound output format: 48000Hz, 16 bit, 2 channels...
SndSys_Init: using the SDL module
Wanted audio Specification:
Channels : 2
Format : 0x8010
Frequency : 48000
Samples : 2048
Obtained audio specification:
Channels : 2
Format : 0x8010
Frequency : 48000
Samples : 1024
Sound format: 48000Hz, 2 channels, 16 bits per sample
Found 1 cdrom drives.
No CD in drive 0.
CDAudio_Init: No CD in player.
Can't get initial CD volume
CD Audio Initialized
========Initialized=========
This means it finds and uses the sound card correctly, but it is muted anyway.
The sound problem seems to dissapear if i run the games or apps affected as root, but i don't like the idea of executing software as root witouth need.
Any workfixes? Thanks in advance
