distorted sound in video games

[angelbeast]

It's me again...when i go to play video games like alien arena the sound is all distorted...is there anything i can try to fix it?

Find out when the sound is distorted. Check audio settings in the programs you run, and lower the volume - it can be that the sound output becomes too high so it gets distorted

Hi...Thanks for the reply...The sound is distorted all the time...and it's not distorted like it's up too hugh...it's more like there is a separate layer of sound and that is what is distorted...does that make any sense?

Sorry, don't get it But things like this are hard to describe. But as you say layer of sound - do you have any other sound turned on so there's some kind of mix that distorts?
I think you may have to recheck settings for sound, including the source
It's not all that uncommon (also in Windows) that games behave a bit strange in all sorts of respect

Husse,

I've got several games on my Notebook e.g. Alien Arena, Balazar, Billiard-GL, Sauerbraten, etc. However, I am not fast enough with my key board.

Is there a USB Gamer Controller that you would recommend that I could use to play these games?

Thanks stafio
That may well be the answer. I don't play games much, never have, and I don't have the patience that's needed in many games. So I have to rely entirely (well...) on what I find googling - did not find that one...

I posted this fix for Cassandra. It is along the same lines as the above mentioned fix. http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... =42&t=3698
This fixed Alien Arena for me.

When I see this I remember posting some solution along this line in may I think
Takes too long to find it... Post number 400 or so
