"WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 1024 differs from desired: 2048"

Tried google for some time now but find no sollution. Can any one help?
Thanks.

I am experiencing same issue. Kids really want to play spyfox too

Its an epidemic now. I cant get sound either.

Have tried looking for solution with no reply.... help us please....

Hey there!
Experiencing the same issue as you guys - games works, except for sound. So far I have only tried ScummVM (with Day of the Tentacle) and Beneath a Steel Sky (via apt-get install).

Tried messing around with the sound settings in ScummVM, nothing. No sounds, speech or music at all.
I also tried switching output to HDMI or audio jack, still nothing. Sound works perfectly with aplay and omxplayer.

Ideas, anyone?

Update: I got the sound to work by running:

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/games/scummvm

Is there any way to change this? Sound doesn't work when running ScummVM from the desktop (or without sudo). I'm a beginner, sorry for asking something that's probably obvious!

Update 2: It also seems like audio do not work with ScummVM if you run it from a terminal-window in the desktop, sudo or not. When audio do not work, ScummVM reports: "WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 1024 differs from desired: 2048!"

When sound is working, it does not produce the warning.

Is it some kind of problem with user access?

Update 3: I've been messing around a bit more, from what I can see the permissions should be ok, user pi is member of group audio. There is something going on in the background with root access.

Glad you found out it can be run as sudo, I did't think of that.
Tried changing some permissions, play around and added user pi to some groups but with no success.
I'm glad to have it working with sound anyhow, hope to be abel to do it without sudo in the future.

Thanks

Update

Tried to compile scummvm1.5 (standard, ./configure, make) with same result.
Problem is some where else.

RPi online !
This worked for me.
sudo apt-get --yes purge pulseaudio
I think it removes the pulseaudio package, then ALSA is used instead. Now got sound in Beneath a Steel Sky.
I installed scummvm with sudo apt-get install scummvm
Google for scumm games.
Have fun.

I've tried removing pulseaudio, works for sound effects and speech. Unfortunately, midi music is missing instead. Sudo still works better, unless I'm missing something.

Got a workaround

in /etc/default/pulseaudio
Change PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0 to 1
and reboot

I have no idea how this will affect the rest of the system, but it worked with scummvm
