No sound in game at all

[Wasserschmitt]

Heya! I installed game from source code, did all according to "howto" from website, but where is no sound at all. Already checked other possible reasons, so I sure that the issue is in the game (or my hands, dunno). System - Kubuntu 24.04.
The one thing I found is what "libsndfile1-dev" selected automatically and installed instead of "libsndfile-dev".
Thx in advance.

You can see something weird in names of sound devices. Maybe, this happened because of cyrillic letters (I'm Russian).

Choice of audio device without Russian in name didn't work:

• Which device is your primary device? (the one you're expecting sound to come out of)
• What is your primary audio system? (alsa, pulseaudio, pipewire, jack, etc)

Pre-compiled binaries for the latest version be found here. You can extract it into the root of your Red Eclipse directory (preserving path names) tar -zxvf linux.tar.gz /path/to/redeclipse. This is the easiest way to determine if it is a problem with Red Eclipse or your own build.

can you also do:

Could you fix it already, or do you still need help?
If it's not fixed, maybe try to reassign your Alsa devices first.

[Wasserschmitt]

Returning with reply.
Installed version 2.0.0 - no problems.
Installed version 2.0.9 from Steam - no problems. I don't know, where was an error, and I don't want to search it. Maybe, smth doesn't work properly in dependencies or anywhere else in system, it's normal (I think) when you work with source code instead of packages.

[qreeves]

Yeah, compiling from source isn't for the fainthearted 😄

This is why we keep the Steam version updated, glad it resolved your issues 👍
