ALSA doesn't work with 32bit game

Post by fmartins »

Hi,
Running LM 18.3 Cinnamon 64 bits. I'm running a 32bit game, Shadowgrounds 2 and I get no sound. I see a bunch of errors:

Code: Select all

ALSA lib confmisc.c:674:(snd_determine_driver) could not open control for card 0
ALSA lib conf.c:2714:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load_for_all_cards returned error: Invalid argument

AL lib: alsa.c:866: control open (0): Invalid argument
AL lib: alsa.c:866: control open (1): Invalid argument
AL lib: alsa.c:866: control open (2): Invalid argument
I found some issues on the net in the context of Steam and Wine but nothing that could help. Any ideas?
Regards,
Fernando

@jimallyn; I already had ia32 and the other files installed and I double checked. Thanks!

@trytip: that's what I thought, but in fact the error messages don't indicate any missing library. Plus, I think I have the 32 bit libraries installed: libasound2:i386, unless something else is missing.

BTW, the Windows version of the game, running under Wine, actually has sound (and better graphics!), unfortunately, the videos don't play.
