Voice Chat still broken for 64 bit Linux users...

Jan 10, 2009 vardonx link
This is a reminder thread since it seems to have fallen off the radar. 64 bit Linux users still cannot enable VC without a seg fault.

Suse 11.1 kde3 works for 64 bit on mine
Jan 11, 2009 roguelazer link
Yes, it's not just 64-bit. There's something else.

And, no, it's not related to KDE.

I haven't forgotten about this, but I don't know what to try beyond blindly installing different distros and trying to get it to crash. I'd hoped there would be some more information to go on before I resorted to that.

so someone post a dump log

Since, apparently, nobody can read back a month on their own, http://vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/2/19945

Looks like something in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf is hosed.

I'd agree, blacknet, if VO weren't the only application that has this issue.

And to reply to the last comment on the thread roguelazer references, I have only one device as well.

The common theme here is they are all AMD based 64 bit. I'm upgrading from Suse 10.3 to 11 shortly, I'll post whether that fixes it (I really doubt it).

I tried using voice chat on my Linux box.
Sabayon 64 3.5
Kernel 2.6.25
Core 2 Duo @ 2.5 ghz
2GB RAM
Nvidia 8600 GT
MSI P6NGM (Motherboard)

Here is a dump of my errors log, it doesn't seem to have any useful information since VO dies immediately upon checking enable voice chat.

Fresh install to openSuse 11.1 64 bit (which sucks, btw) does not fix this issue...reverting back to 10.3 :-)

Can people post like.. a list of what distro they're using, config data (kernel, etc), and sound devices (brand/etc)? Please post even if you have it working or if you don't. Something like:

Distro, version, kernel
soundcard 1 brand/type
soundcard 2 brand/type (usb headset, whatever)
other basic system config info

If we collect enough information, at the very least we can try sending that to the TeamSpeak people and see if they want to try and test further or something.

If we can at least find some hardware commonalities or something, that would be a starting point. The issue doesn't reproduce on our machines so.. we really need more info from you guys. The more reports the better.
Jan 26, 2009 blacknet link
shouldn't something like that be included in the if code maybe?
Jan 26, 2009 roguelazer link
I seem to have fixed the bug.

How interesting.

Distro: Gentoo ~amd64
Kernel 2.6.27 and 2.6.28
Soundcard 1 (primary output): HeadRoom Total BitHead (TI PCM2900)
Soundcard 2 (primary input): SoundBlaster Audigy 2

So, the problem went away when I switched my ALSA config on the HeadRoom from being a straightforward dmix device to being an asym device with the audigy set as its input.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the code was failing when it hit a device that did not have any input support.

working asound.conf
non-working asound.conf

Yay!

Cool- thanks roguelazer! Hopefully we can get this resolved in short order now.

My kernel is 2.6.25

hmm played around with this problem again today. Found that all the Buntu except xubuntu had this problem with 8.10. I got the feeling that with Ubuntu it had to do with pulseaudio and the new hal and xinput. Have not nailed it down yet.

Everyone who's been having problems, please try again with the latest client. With luck, the bugs have been fixed; without it, at least we'll be reporting them wrt the current version of the library.

Edit: I have one report (thanks iry) that the crash on enable is fixed!
