No sound in any löve projects

Post by innsmouthrain »

Hi!

I'm looking around at game engines and editors for linux and found out about Löve2d! I am a fan of mari0 and I tried Mr Rescue as well as Hawkthorne journey now. Beautiful games and very promising framework for my team! I am very glad I stumbled upon this.

However. There is no sound at all in any of them. I've tried searching google and the forums but no luck. Anyone know something I can try to fix it?

I'm running arch linux and start the games by running a command like "love /usr/share/hawkthorne-journey/hawkthorne.love".

Warm regards

I'm not sure, honestly. I'm assuming your sound works regularly. I'm not much of a Linux person myself, I'm just sort of bumping this for you so a developer or other person might see this.

Hey,

I created a minimal example game to play sound. Please run the attached .love and press SPACE to play the sound. Do you hear anything? If not, do you get any output on the console?

I tried this on windows. No sound when running just the .love file, but when I unpacked it and ran it with a compiler (.bat), I heard the sound loud and clear. The console wasn't enabled by default, so I enabled it and nothing printed to it when I pressed SPACE to play the sound. (Maybe when you said 'console' you meant something directed toward him being on linux?)... but anyways, yeah, that's what happened for me.

Edit: innsmouthrain will get a console output when he runs the game under linux.
