pmenzani Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Well, I was playing and I got this message. Anyone could help me? I used to play and nothing happened, but now this is hapening. This message shows when I do any action that executes a sound, like move a peasent (screenshots). Computer: Windows 8 Intel i3 4GB RAM 64 bits Edited July 27, 2018 by pmenzani the screenshots were not showing the error messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki1950 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Could you add system.txt also from the logs folder as the error shows that it could not initialise your sound card/chip for some reason @elexis will most likely ask you for that file while waiting you might try checking if your sound drivers and OpenAL are up to date. Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the Choice I'm sending a copy of "system_info.txt" from the "logs" folder. I dont know how to check if OpenAL is up to date, but I do have a problem with my sound drivers. They stopped working on this pc for a while, but the error messages had appeared before system_info.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try passing -nosound by editing the shortcut and see if that fixes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0600204 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 According to the system info file, the reporter appears to have a laptop (going by the SKU code, one of these). Going by the laptop's support page, the built-in soundcard should be a "Realtek" device of some sort. However, the system info file has no mention of that, instead listing "2 - High Definition Audio Device" as the soundcard. This implies that Windows is unable to find or identify the device correctly (which could be a driver issue) or that Windows' "default" soundcard is set incorrectly. @pmenzani Are you saying that you don't have audio from any of the applications on your computer? Resolve that issue, and 0AD will stop complaining. If you don't mind playing without sound at all, then yes, the -nosound argument will also work.

pmenzani Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 The --nosound worked, I was playing without sound, but now i got my pc fixed, so I can play with sound again. Thanks for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
