I emerged ut2003 and there were no sound. Then I merged openal and sounds work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ut2003 2. ut2003 3. Actual Results: There were no sound. Expected Results: I should've heard lots of splats and such. Adding RDEPEND="media-libs/openal" into the ebuild fixes this.
Strange. I wrote the ebuild, and I don't have OpenAL installed, nor have I ever. I get sound with no problems. When did you emerge ut2003? I have made changes to the ebuild recently. The newest version is version 1.5 of the ebuild. Quite simply, the game can run without OpenAL installed. If it requires OpenAL, then it would supply it. Try merging the latest version. If you still have the problem, post here and I'll try remerging the game to see what is going on with it.
I did `emerge rsync' a few hours ago and installed after that. Ebuild header: $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-games/ut2003/ut2003-2225.ebuild,v 1.5 20 03/08/14 13:06:59 wolf31o2 Exp $ Sound card: (from /proc/pci) Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 16) ALSA from media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.2 A little leaflet that came with my ut2003 clearly states in the 'system requirements' section that it needs openAL. It probably does also supply it but didn't work... A missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

And the ebuild installs DefUser.ini and Default.ini in /. This is probably not what we want?
Well, my copy of UT2003 installs the ALAudio.so and openal.so libraries into the System directory. Try moving the .ini files to /opt/ut2003/System and see if the game starts. I am fixing the locations of those 2 files in the ebuild right now. If that fixes the problem (I think it will) then I'll just submit this and that'll fix the problem.
I moved the *.inis and my copy does install those ALAudio.so and openal.so as well. But still no sound. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ut2003/System does not seem to have any effect... getting strange.
Well, I noticed that in the UT2003.log file (~/.ut2003/System/UT2003.log) it is failing to load openal.so for some reason. I'm going to have to investigate this more, but it may take a while, since I'm actually a bit busy in real life.
No problem, it works fine if you got openal merged ;) Take your time :)
No problem. It is just bugging me since I know it was working before. I'll get to it as soon as I figure out the America's Army sound problem. I think they are related, and well, America's Army takes up less than half as much space on my hard drive and doesn't require em to swap 3 CDs every time I test... ;] They're both the same engine ported by the same guy, so it's pretty safe to say they work the same and would have the same issues.
Well, the problem was different between the bugs. I got the America's Army one pinned down and am going to start working on this one today and tomorrow.
I am making this depend since I am working on both bugs at the same time and it'll remind me to make sure both work before submitting the new ebuild.
Fixed in CVS... emerge sync emerge ut2003 emerge clean
