I asked for help concerning sound support under SuSE 5.2 before. Sound for most programs was working with my custom compiled kernel (had sound compiled in). Someone suggested that sound works better as a module so I reverted back to the original kernel supplied with SuSE 5.2. Went into /usr/src/linux.../sound and compiled (after reading several Readme files). I have a non-pnp soundblaster 16. I copied the file sound.o to the modules tree and sure enough when I run a program requiring sound the module is loaded automagicly and sound plays. This is all great, as far as it goes. I still cannot get sound with xboing. I know sounds should be heard with xboing. Here is the question I hope someone will be kind enough to answer: Does sound work for you when you play xboing? If the answer is yes could you please add details as to you configuration. If the answer is no (and other programs produce sound) then please also response. This way I can stop trying to get sound to work.

I too have no sound in Xboing. Also none in kde. But that is a kde prob.

I also have no sound, but on a P200+ Cyrix the game goes so fast it is unplayable. Is there a way to slow it down? ----------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

First off thanks for replying to my question on sound in xboing. I can now stop worring about how to configure it, we'll just say it's broke. As far as speed, there are command line options to control the speed as well as grabing the mouse. These two options, as well as the -sound option (which is broke) should be documented in "man xboing". I think speed can also be set with the numbers 1,2,.. while playing the game. I have to set the speed to the lowest to have any change of staying in the game. On Mon, 15 Jun 1998, TEX wrote:

I have an AWE32, have sound compiled as a module, and have configured isapnp. I have sound for mp3's, audio cd's, Quake/Quake2/Doom, Realplayer, Xanim, and midi. I also have sound for Xmame and games that use the rplay daemon, but ONLY if I boot from loadlin, so obviously something is configured in DOS that isn't getting configured in a lilo boot. I haven't tracked this down yet, but it is so trivial that I haven't been in a big hurry. Try booting from loadlin if you dual boot, and see if you then have sound in Xboing. If so we have the same problem and perhaps someone might offer an answer as to what the problem is. Terry Eck wrote:

Here is an excerpt from the man page for xboing: The sound option will enable sound to be turned on if possible. Within the game you may press <s> to toggle sound on or off. The default is OFF. Hmm, I knew that man pages were there for a reason. Terry Eck wrote:

I will give you suggestion about loadlin a try but I don't think my soundcard needs to be initialized under DOS. I'm getting sound with all the programs (quake/doom/xpat2/...) except xboing. You did not mention if you've run xboing. I assume this means you don't. I would still like someone to answer the following:

If you run xboing, does it produce sound and if so what is your configuration?

Thanks for your reply Terry
