Sound is broken (looping clicking noise)

[gyver]

Hi,

I just installed Glest 2.0.0 and I'm quite impressed. I tried it some time ago (probably one year ago) and found it interesting but not quite there yet.

Now it's at the point where I can enjoy a full game without any obvious annoyance... as long as I switch the sound off ! Indeed there's a clicking noise, looping from the very start of the game (at low volume with a crescendo while the game is loading).
Unfortunately it covers everything else to the point that I'm not even sure if there are other sounds (I only noticed that the volume of the noise can change depending on the situation in the game : more noise during combat for example).

I'm using the gentoo ebuild, No .openalrc file (tried some examples found in the forum but didn't do any good) on an Asus U1F notebook with a pretty standard Intel HD Audio chipset.

You can try this installer. I never had a problem with it.

I didn't expect much (glest is installed and working, only the sound is pure noise). I used the installer linked above and indeed got the very same problem with sound -> no luck.

I have the same sound problem on gutsy.
The temporary solution is use the w32 binary on wine.
Isn't better but work well.

Procedure:
- download glest_2.0.1.exe
- wine glest_2.0.1.exe
- download msvcirt.dll form http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... ml?msvcirt and save it in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Glest_2.0.1/
- cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Glest_2.0.1/
- wine glest.exe

I have tried it on my laptop and I found only one problem.
The resolution after exit glest is 1024x768.
The fix is 'System->Admin->Screen e Graphics' set good resolution and press ok.
On my desktop all ok.

On Ubuntu using esd and gnome following .openalrc helped out:

Code: [Select]

(define devices '(esd))
(define speaker-num 2)
(define sampling-rate 44100)


Using alsa or other devices gave me the same problem mentioned in this topic  (looping clicking noise).
