Downloaded the LOVE binaries, can't run demos.

Post by Zorbatron »

I'm not sure if this issue has been brought up before, however, when I run the .love files with love.exe nothing happens. I get this in my stdout.txt:

This is LOVE 0.5.0 (Salted Nuts).

INIT love.filesystem [PhysFS]
INIT love.graphics [OpenGL/DevIL/FreeType]
INIT love.audio [SDL_mixer]
SDLMixerAudio: Unable to open audio!
QUIT love.audio [SDL_mixer]
QUIT love.graphics [OpenGL/DevIL/FreeType]
QUIT love.filesystem [PhysFS]


I'd like to note that I am running Windows 7 64x and do not have speakers on this computer for various temporary reasons.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, does support exist for Windows 7?

In the current version of LÖVE, everything fails if one module fails. You probably don't have sound card drivers installed.

Note that just not loading love.audio isn't good enough, we have to create a "null audio" module which appears to work as seen from the Lua side, otherwise games using love.audio will cause errors.

Ah thanks for the reply, however, I can't run even the simplest game, do you have any solution you can think of? Anything I can do? I'm currently searching for fake audio drivers which make it seem like an audio device is present when in reality there are none, if you know of any please let me know.

Okay I figured out my audio controller was disabled in the BIOS in my system menu, after turning on, the default audio drivers installed themselves and it worked.
