Re: [Mono-dev] Moonlight and OSS4 sound ubuntu 9.10 and opensuse11.2
Hi, I can dig further, but perhaps someone in the know on moonlight, can very easily comment on why sound doesn't work on linux with OSS4. Is it only made to work with alsa/pulse? It there a solution? Moonlight only has support for alsa and pulseaudio, oss hasn't been implemented. We do of course patches if somebody volunteers to do the coding. Rolf One of the really poor things about linux is no good standard sound layer. I have had set ups were pulseaudio works, other set ups where is pure broken. I have used alsa standalone, but had little luck with multiplexing sounds. I know others swear by Jack. For me OSS4 works perfect. But as I see now, not with moonlight :( I am thinking, if everything else works fine in browser (through to oss4), why not moonlight? -- ted leslie tles...@tcn.net ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
Re: [Mono-dev] Moonlight and OSS4 sound ubuntu 9.10 and opensuse11.2
Putting
# $HOME/.asoundrc
pcm.!default
{
type oss
device /dev/dsp
}
mixer.!default
{
type oss
device /dev/dsp
}
fixed the sound issue of moonlight on oss4,
however the game now is unresponsive for the first 10 seconds,
then runs 1/3 the normal speed (while background music plays),
then runs normal speed once background music stops, but
action sound play fine still.
Seems like the constant streaming of background music in the game
causes issue (but cpu/resources of computer were not strained).
This may not be a mono/moonlight issue at this point.
Just posting this, as a search hit, if anyone else has same issue,
they can resolve with above .asoundrc entry.

went all freaky).
This was probably do to it running in a vmware instance.
Youtube did the same (had sound issue).
So I installed oss4 as i really prefer it anyways over pulseAudio/alsa.
Youtube now works great, but there is no sound in moonlight.
I also tried the same game in my native host os ubuntu 9.10, firefox and
chrome (same test as in opensuse11.2),
and I also have OSS4 as my sound layer there as well. Also no sound in
moonlight (dobbs game),
but sound work fine for everything else, flash, and wav, etc.(using this set
up for over a year).
