Sound in Linux
« on: September 18, 2011, 01:19:41 am »

So uh yeah, I'm running ubuntu, and as of yet I havnt been able to get sound running in DF
Everytime I open the game I get the message "Dynamically loading the OpenAL library failed, disabling sound"
And it works perfectly other than that, just sans sound. I've been wondering what this game sounds like for a while so yeah toss out any suggestions please

I dual boot using Ubuntu, so if I really wanted sound I could have it. I seldom do. It's just the music track being repeated, so you aren't missing that much. Sound may work in Wine though.
