Sound troubles on linux
Posted: Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:59 pm
Hi. I am having trouble with how the sim sounds on a linux machine and because of this I usually just play the game without sound. Recently I tried to see if I could solve the problem but I had no success.
I'm on manjaro and it came with pulseaudio. If I understand correctly sim uses alsa(?) as its output and that gets pushed to pulse via a plugin?
below is my .asoundrc. I have tried different configurations but without success. They either don't work or sound the same.
I have also tried to use my graphics cards sound card by switching the out put to my monitors speakers. That makes no difference. So the problem occurs after sim and before hardware?
If I use aplay to play a test wav it sounds good and I believe it also gets routed to pulse like sim does. Spotify and Firefox also sound normal but I think those use pulse to begin with. Below is recording of how sim sounds for me. It was recorded with arecord if that matters.

What are the sound specs that the sim outputs? Maybe I could force those with .asoundrc?
Any and all help is appreciated!

Code: Select all
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
