No music in Linux Version

#1

Post by BlushBerry » Mon Dec 12, 2016 12:52 pm

Using Linux Mint 18 MATE 64-bit

I got this to work before by installing fluidsynth and timidity++

But they don't seem to actually work anymore?

Only thing that works is OPL Emulation.

https://wiki.zandronum.com/Using_Timidity%2B%2B has no text.

Please help?

One thing I learned about Linux Mint is it likes to not install optional dependencies when it needs it. You might want to double check that and see if you or the OS missed anything.

That's what I think it is, however the chances of me trying to figure that out without enough information might not fix your problem.

You may need to run zandro like this. Because I have to do this for timidity to work
padsp zandronum

Make sure you have pulseudio-oss installed. It works great just at very high volume it may crackle. If this does not work it may be because you
may not have added a soundfont to the timidity.conf file

Sorry to necro an old thread but I'd like to put this here just in case someone else has the same issue.
This fixed it for me.
If you set FMOD as the default midi device for Zandronum and music or sound is not audible, do the following:

1- Download gm.dls (this file is used by FMOD ex in Windows, located at "Windows/System32/drivers/")
http://www.solidfiles.com/d/765e42ac1c/

2- Put the gm.dls file in your .zandronum folder or to any location.

3- In your .zandronum folder, edit zandronum.ini and go to "snd_midipatchset=" and set the path where your gm.dls file is located, for example:

snd_midipatchset=/home/<your username>/.zandronum/gm.dls

4- Save changes and verify if music or sound is audible.
