I am getting no sound in Mednafen on Linux MInt 17.1 Mate 64-bit. Relevant part of ~/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg are:
;Disable speed throttling when sound is disabled. nothrottle 0 ;Automatically save and load save states when a game is closed or loaded, respectively. autosave 0 ;Select sound driver. sounddriver default ;Select sound output device. sounddevice default ;Sound volume level, in percent. soundvol 100 ;Enable sound emulation. sound 1 ;If non-zero, specifies the desired period size in microseconds. Currently only affects OSS and ALSA output. sound.period_time 0 ;Specifies the desired size of the sound buffer, in milliseconds. soundbufsize 32 ;Specifies the sound playback rate, in frames per second("Hz"). soundrate 48000 Relevant part of output when starting Mednafen from command line is:
Initializing sound... Using "ALSA" audio driver with device "default":ALSA Error: snd_pcm_open(&alsa_pcm, id ? id : "hw:0", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0) No such file or directory Error opening a sound device. I have alsa-base installed, do I need something else too? Any ideas?
