Problems w/ sound -0.2.8.1 binary, intel mac osx 10.4.5

Post by Guest »

if i have the sound set to anything other than off, the application won't boot. I have to then trash the user.cfg file and start with the default settings, which comes up as sound off. Is it just me, or is there something wrong here?

Yep, this sounds like a problem. Could you zip up your crash log and post it here? It is at ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Armagetron Advanced.crash.log. Also, a recording that reproduces the crash would help. Use the Armagetron Advanced Recorder application that came with the game. Sound is working on my machine (10.4 PPC).

Thanks for the report.

i'm not able to create a recording as it will work fine with the sound off. however if i modify the sound settings, and play with the sound on, it is unable to reboot, even if i turn the sound back to off before closing the application.

The problem was with SDL_mixer. I have released a 0.2.8.1-1 for Mac OS X, but it is not a universal binary (only PPC). You can either upgrade to that version if you would like sound, or play with 0.2.8.1-universal for speed but no sound. Hopefully SDL_mixer universal will be ready for 0.2.8.2.

Duh, took me a while to notice this: 0.2.8 does not really make good use of SDL_mixer anyway, there should be no problem to disable its use by not defining HAVE_LIBSDL_MIXER in config.h, the Linux client gets configured that way by default. That is, unless you secretly ship a music track with the Mac version :)
