Description Simone Scanzoni 2007-10-12 00:14:30 UTC
UT2004 doesn't start on my system with the bundled openal, but since version 0.0.8-r2 the system library stopped producing any sound.
I found the problem to be the 005_all_alsa_default_freq patch, without it everything works again.
Comment 1 Paul Bredbury 2007-10-12 10:24:55 UTC
It is also recommended to remove 005_all_alsa_default_freq.patch, in the final comments of bug #193147.
Comment 2 Simone Scanzoni 2007-10-26 00:46:12 UTC
I forgot to mention that my sound card is a Sound Blaster Live! Value and I'm using ALSA with OSS emulation enabled, if it matters.
I don't  know if this is the same as bug #193147 because Chromium uses OpenAL and works fine here with 005_all_alsa_default_freq.patch .

005_all_alsa_default_freq patch also seems to crash the game spring
http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=12568

after removing this patch it worked for the poster in the reference above and also for me. so is this patch really necessary?

You can try this patch. It solves some same problems for me.

Does it work with the new ~x86 keyworded version: 1.5.304?
