[SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
Since I updated sunday the 18th, sound hasn't functioned when playing oldschool runescape, using either the official or the runelite client.
In KDE's audio volume manager, it doesn't even show up as an application outputting volume like it used to!
At first I thought it was due to the alsa bugs people have been reporting, but downgrading didn't help and neither did the latest updates.
A comment if you can/can't reproduce would help, narrowing it down to a package or config issue. Simply installing the runelite package, starting it and commenting if the main menu plays sound would be tremendous!
Thanks a lot for your help

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
It seems C0D0 means card zero device zero. listing all devices shows that that is a loopback PCM. doesn't really make sense, nor do I know how to force the use of a different card. Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
Generally don't load the snd_aloop module, or if you do pass it a index that does not make it the default card. What you should do regardless is install pulseaudio-alsa so that applications not having direct pulse access are redirected to pulseaudio by default and pulseaudio will allow you to have more fine grained control over what plays where.

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
Fixed!
I installed the droidcam package from the AUR, which loaded the snd_aloop module. uninstalling it (couldn't unload, it had dependencies or something) solved the issue.
FYI I did have pulseaudio-alsa installed.
Thanks so much for your help, I learned a lot so hopefully I can resolve it myself next time

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
Hi @ThaChillera, I'm having a similar problem with no sound in Runelite. I also have droidcam installed so maybe it is due to the snd_aloop module as well. Could you please specify a bit how you uninstalled it? Running 'rmmod snp_aloop' fails beacuse it is in use. Also, do you know if removing it breaks droidcam?
Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
I'm assuming they've uninstalled droidcam, if you just want to change the index snd_aloop occupies you can do so with a config in /etc/modprobe.d/orderAloop.conf or so
options snd_aloop index=-2should prevent it from occupying the card slot 0 and pick something else that is free.

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
Hi @V1del and thanks for the suggestion! Didn't work unfortunately though. It's probably something else that's causing it then. I guess I will just have to live without sounds in that game, as I can't really be bothered to debug this further

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
As mentioned above, you would likely benefit from installing pulseaudio-alsa
(As in, that fixed it for me.)

Re: [SOLVED] OldSchool Runescape sound not working for a week
If installing pulseaudio-alsa didn't work for you, you could try this
sudo modprobe -r snd_aloopThis worked for me as running fuser showed Runelite going to my loopback card and the module was loaded previously. (This disables snd_aloop temporarily)
