"Try and install libsdl1.2-debian-pulse so that sdl uses pulseaudio directly, and see if that helps." SOLVED It was missing my 1st install, had that already from 2nd install, tried going all alsa found out pulse is only a server between alsa and the application running alsa. screwed it all up and had to re-install. Made sure adobe 10 flashplayer that was lagging gnome and firefox wasn't the problem by leaving it out of this install. I had to install the alsa mixer gui to get my mono base channel working on the soundcard but Urban Terror kept crashing. I tried switching to Libsdl-debian-all and that still worked for everything else but not urban terror. I noticed that Libsdldebian1.2 Simple Directmedia Layer was NOT installed so i installed it. No change yet... I got rid of Libsdl-debian-all automatically when I switched back to Libsdl-debial-pulseaudio I installed it and now Urban Terror works perfect, no crash, no lag and I have compiz desktop cube active and am running under the ubuntu drivers so it was never an ati driver problem strictly audio. some people have said UT ran better under metacity and it did for me but kept crashing the soundcard. I don't know if it makes a difference but now I am running Ultimate Edition 2.5 but it is still karmic just with with add ons Here is a list of what I have installed in synaptic under a search for sdl libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl pango1 libsdl-sound1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 gambas2-gb-sdl gambas2-gb-sdl-sound libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio libsdl1.2debian libsdlmpeg0 mplayer-skins libsdl-image 1.2 libsdl-mixer 1.2 vlc-nox mplayer mplayernogui Here is what's showing as manually altered under sdl (the ones I changed) libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio libsdl1.2 debian libsdl-sound1.2 and just fo posterity if it had anything to do with alsa at all when I installed the alsa mixer and alsa gui... this is what's showing up in synaptic filtering for manually installed under a search for alsa alsamixergui alsaplayer-common libsd-alsa0 alsa-utils gnome-alsamixer alsa-oss alsa-base libsound2 alsa-tools-gui libsound2-plugins linux-sound-base gstreamer0.10-alsa qamix libclalsadrv (this is the alsa driver c++ access library) gamix bluez-alsa I'm sorry I cannot say if the sdl libraries I installed cured the problem alone or if it was in combination with the alsa utilities I added. All I can say is if you have the same sdl installs and UT still doesn't work try checking out the sdl file dependancies and see if you have the alsa installs I do. I can definitely say it has nothing to do with the graphics card or drivers I was getting lag and rough frames in UT but it was due to: The connection setting was set to 8, I'm on a cable modem so I set it to 24 The UT refresh rate was over 80 exceeding the 60 hz of my monitor and the setting of 50 in the compiz options. I also maxed out the # of sends to the server It works perfectly smooth now with no sound crashing. 6 year old Dell Inspiron 9100 with P4 1mb on die cache and 1gig ram with hyperthreading and a usb keyboard I have the troublesome radeon mobility 9700 graphics card. It's actually a 9600 with 128 pin bus and 128mb ram. Compz wasn't working for me under older versions of ubuntu but the new default linux ati drivers are on the money. -- urbanterror crash with pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
