This is still an ongoing issue despite the fact there has been a new Ubuntu release Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla).
@warp99 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osspd/+bug/1857810/comments/4 This suggests using osspd-alsa but it's pretty much the same with alsa- oss (aoss) which causes crackling/popping noises and echoes on OSS mode of ETQW, most probably due to OSS to ALSA to PulseAudio nature of the process. ETQW (OSS) with osspd-pulseaudio: ------ OSS Sound Initialization ------ WARNING: failed to open output sound device '/dev/dsp': Input/output error WARNING: sound subsystem disabled -------------------------------------- @ventman https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osspd/+bug/1857810/comments/7 Installing and utilizing libpulsedsp:i386 does make sense and indeed it returned a different warning but the result is the same, no sound on ETQW (OSS). ETQW (OSS) with libpulsedsp:i386: ------ OSS Sound Initialization ------ opened sound device '/dev/dsp' ioctl SNDCTL_SYSINFO failed: Invalid argument this ioctl is only available in OpenSound.com's OSS implementation. If you run Linux kernel OSS or Alsa OSS, don't bother. WARNING: ioctl OSS_GETVERSION failed close sound device WARNING: sound subsystem disabled -------------------------------------- I am able to get sound with ALSA mode of ETQW but it has issues with microphone, therefore I need to use OSS mode of the game that seems to not working due to osspd-pulseaudio and libpulsedsp:i386 failure. Is there any progress on the issue? ** Attachment added: "ETQW (OSS) with osspd-pulseaudio (full).txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osspd/+bug/1857810/+attachment/5442742/+files/ETQW%20%28OSS%29%20with%20osspd-pulseaudio%20%28full%29.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1857810 Title: osspd no longer works: ERR: failed to connect context, state=5 (Bad state) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osspd/+bug/1857810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
