General Discussion & Help / Issues with sound on Ubuntu linux
« on: December 03, 2019, 12:15:34 AM »
I have been porting CoinOPS Next Arcade Edition to Ubuntu Linux Bionic.
I have everything working fine in mame - bezels, screen effects etc
Theres just one thing left to fix.
When RetroFE boots, and the videos play, there is garbled sound.
This appears to be the sound muting and muting, or increasing and decreasing 10+ times per second.
I have run this on different machines with Intel/AMD processors and Nvidia/Radeon video cards.
I thought it might be the new animated volume, so I disabled all of those in layout.xml - didn't work still garbled sound.
If I disable the <reloadableVideo imagetype screenshot statements, then the initial video plays, sounds fine,
but now of course I have no video in the game previews.
I'm thinking that there may be a bug in the SDL sound implementation.
My other conversions of Attract Mode all work fine.
I just like retroFE and CoinOPS better
Would anyone have any ideas?
I have attached a video to show what happens.
Many Thanks,
Andy
