I tried DOTA2 on steam (native linux), and I heard that the sound is crackling during the intro scene and menus (everyting except gameplay scenes). Is anybody noticed this issue too ?
I did not have this symptom. Everything ran perfectly for me. I went through the tutorial and everything.
I have seen this problem in the past with some games, but never found a solution.
I have an Audigy on my Vista machine. Its about 5 years old. I would think Linux could handle a 5 year old dedicated sound card.
Yeah, look for some newer drivers
There is plenty of audigy models, mine is one of the first released (with gold plated jacks, etc...), I believe at least 10 years old or more
edit : according to wikipedia where second gen audigy 2 is already 11years old, I can say than mine is even older I used it on 3 generations of PCs, and at least 4 pcs (2xPCs with athlon single core, and 2xPCs with athlon dual core).
Working great with JACK and alsa on music apps, by the way.
Wow, I'm dumb! I didn't even notice. So you have no idea what motherboard you have?
Maybe crack open the case and take a look.
I'm just curious if the onboard audio would work better for games?
Nice Video Card by the way
I tried the internal sound device (probably a standard ac97 or something), and no more crackling sound. I still don't know why my good old audigy works with everything (including gaming) except the tiny DOTA2 intro. I bet we'll never know ! LOL
I had a strange problem over the weekend...
I am trying to make a video with recordmydesktop so we can have video guides and there was no audio.
So I tried setting the output to onboard, which I thought was already set because I can obviously hear my games and now I can hear sound in my video.
Who knows?
