Hi all, Use Ubuntu Linux, And the Mupen64 Emulator. I recently been having some problems with the Mupen64 Audio Plugin after recently Installing something, but I can't figure out what it was I uninstalled that caused the Mupen64 audio plugin to stop working.

I tried running mupen64 as root, to see if it gives an error in the terminal, and indeed it does. the error I get is:

"Error opening /dev/dsp"

"Error Resetting Sound Card"

"Error Setting Fragment Size",

"Error Setting Stereo Mode",

"Error Initializing Format",

and lastly,

"Error Initializing Frquency: 32000"

Here is the Complete output from the terminal :

The funny thing is though, that sound is working fine on my system, and if I use Jttl's SDL Audio plugin, sound works fine. I also have no problem with sound on other emulators as well. It's only that one paticular plugin I am having problems with.

Please help me solve this problem, as I really like using the mupen64 audio plugin, better than using jttl's SDL Audio plugin.

Thank You if anyone can help :)

Btw, I noticed after installing XGL on my Ubuntu OS, I couldn't run epsxe, and the graphics became really messed up in mupen64 with Rice's Video Plugin. But After Uninstalling Xgl, everything worked normally again.

Can someone please explain why that happened? Thank You;)

System Specs:

Intel Celeron D processor, 1024 Megs of DDR Ram, Sound Blaster Live 24-bit, BFG Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 OC, SOny Dual Layer DVD-RW.

Thanks for your reply, it was very much appreciated. I Just recently solved my problem on my own after reading some threads at the Ubuntu forums, and was about to reply back to inform all of you that it was solved, but I had forgot to.

Anyways the problem with the sound, I found out was because I accidently uninstalled Alsa-OSS, for Ubuntu when I Uninstalled something else. After I reinstalled Alsa-OSS, everything worked fine again.

I'm not using KDE, I am using Ubuntu Gnome Desktop. However I don't Understand how the graphics became all messed up with Rice's Video Plugin when I had Xgl Installed. When Xgl was installed, using Rice's Video Plugin, textures in mario on Mupen64 were all white, and had no color to them whatsoever.

After Uninstalling Xgl, the textures reverted back to thier normal color.

Thank You for your reply:bouncy:
