I recently updated Ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 and could not get sound to work in ZSNES. So, how did I fix the issue?
First off, I checked the Internet for several possibilities. There were so many articles to read. There was even a bug report on ZSNES's site for the issue. But the fix was easy. Drop to a shell, type the following: sudo apt-get install timidity This enabled sound support and the sound now works. To make the sound better, I used the following settings in ZSNES (under the config --> Sound menu): - Disable SPC Emulation: Unchecked
- Enable Sound: Checked
- Enable Stereo Sound: Checked
- Reverse Stereo Channels: Unchecked
- Simulate Surround Sound: Unchecked
- Sampling Rate: 32000 Hz
- Volume Level: 100%
- Interpolation: Cubic Spline
- Lowpass: Hi Quality
This is on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with ZNES version 1.51. No changes have been made to the original sound setup by Ubuntu. (Meaning ESD is still checked, did not mess with volume controls, etc.) This again reinforces my belief and experience that Linux problems are almost always solved by installing a simple package or updating a single setting. |
