|
|
Hi,
Since 2 or 3 days, no sound in Steam.
I work with pulseaudio.
If i use only ALSA, i have sound in games (like CS GO) but if i use pulseaudio again, no sound in CS:GO.
I have sevral games, such as CS:GO, L4D2, Audiosurf and all have no sound.
The log when i start the game in the terminal :
Code: | ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.8/work/alsa-lib-1.1.8/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:1108:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave |
How can I restore sound ?
I can't keep ALSA because, i can't record audio from soundcard with audacity and record with OBS-Studio Microphone AND Desktop Sounds.
Can you help me ? _________________ Desktop : MSI Gaming Pro X470 - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X - RX 560 - OpenRC GNOME - gentoo-sources-6.1 LTS

Use pavucontrol to check if the game uses the right output. |

While the game is running? Then it's probably trying to use alsa. Did you create an ~/.asoundrc that is blocking things? |

If i use ALSA only, it works.
With Pulseaudio :
Left 4 Dead 2 : no sound
Counter Strike Global Offensive : no sound
AudioSurf 2 : no sound
Eurotruck Simulator 2 : OK sound
All the rest of system : sound works
Very strange. I note that pulseaudio have "oss" flag disabled, i don't know if it's new but i think the problem is here _________________ Desktop : MSI Gaming Pro X470 - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X - RX 560 - OpenRC GNOME - gentoo-sources-6.1 LTS

I ran into this some time ago (on ~arch so that might explain why I hit that). in PA the source device was defaulting to my hdmi gfx card output rather than the sound card. This kept happening.
I then noticed that /etc/init.d/alsasound was removed from my runlevels??? so after adding that back and again choosing the correct soundcard in PA, it is now working consistently _________________ #define HelloWorld int
#define Int main()
#define Return printf
#define Print return
#include <stdio>
HelloWorld Int {
Return("Hello, world!\n");
Print 0; |

An other user have same problem on Arch : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236269
The solution is I was missing pulseaudio-alsa!
But ... pulseaudio have alsa USE.
The package on Arch install only /etc/asound.conf file.
My /etc/asound.conf is empty...
Edit: I copy the file form arch package on my system and reboot.
I have sound into games but .... pulseaudio can't start and I can't use OBS Studio for record microphone AND sound of the game (i need pulseaudio for that) _________________ Desktop : MSI Gaming Pro X470 - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X - RX 560 - OpenRC GNOME - gentoo-sources-6.1 LTS

Hummmm....
I downgraded alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-plugins from 1.1.8 to 1.1.6, now I have sound.
There are a problem with alsa 1.1.8.

I have a problem with pcm.hint.show in the 1.1.8 alsa update, can't find any docs about it so just commented it out of the config files for now, I'm lazy like that. |

Yes, since 1.1.8, many things have been broken. I had to throw out some things from my .asoundrc to get sound working at all. And Timidity still refuses to work with it. https://bugs.gentoo.org/682232
I've simply masked 1.1.8 for now. |

Same here. downgrading to 1.1.6 solved.
I tried the 1.1.9 and nothing.

Downgrading is a solution for time being since we would the benefits of a higher version.
So they need to fix the problem earlier with the same version or in the next version. |

I had the same issue for a long time and tried pretty much everything. It was a very simple fix, just make sure all your drivers are updated. I had windows 10 and it is not the most compatible with gaming so i installed Windows 7 instead and just made sure I had all the updated drivers. Its a long fix but it worked for me. Goodluck! |
