Sound card & GTA San Andreas

Post by SmokingCookie »

Hey everyone,

I'm kinda new to the forum, Wine and Linux in general.

Anyways, to the point: I installed GTA San Andreas yesterday and it did work until the evening. Now it says it cannot find the sound card, causing it to quit immediately. In the Wine configuration, I selected all drivers (doesn't work otherwise), a sample rate of 48000 at 16 bits per sample. As Windows version, I chose XP.

And btw, everything here's in Dutch :)

Don't do this, it's a surefire way to make audio not work at all. If the game doesn't launch after selecting only one sound driver, make sure you run in the terminal to get some output and post it here.

Currently at school.

So, when I get back home, I'll try one driver at a time. As to running SA in a terminal window, should I navigate to the location of the game and start it like in Windows (with Ubuntu rather than Windows commands, of course)? Also, is there a way to direct the output to a file?

Seems like DaVince was right about selecting drivers: the game runs again. However, sound effects are barely audible. In fact: only when the speakers' volume is turned up all the way, I can vaguely hear some sfx. Does anyone have an idea as to how to solve this?
