Hi!

If the modules are not printed, that probably means that they cannot be loaded :). (Bah, I assume that by looking at the vm code that does that [1]).

So, first thing you can do is to see the output of stderr. Second, you can try to do an ldd [2] to the vm-sound-ALSA.so library to check the dependencies and try to get them installed via ap-tget.

Keep us informed :)

Cheers,

Guille

Hmm. Did this get sent or was it filtered? It doesn't seem to be in my inbox for the pharo-dev list.

It arrived��

I'm using Pharo 2.0 on Ubuntu 13.10 and I can't seem to get sound working. Getting sound to work on Linux seems to be a common problem. While I've checked the archive for solutions, none of them work for me. I've investigated a bit and here's what I've found:

Inside of the /usr/lib/pharo-vm directory, I see the following:
vm-sound-ALSA.so
vm-sound-null.so
vm-sound-pulse.so (I added that based on an archive post that this would work)

When I do "pharo -vm-sound-null pharo.image", it works correctly.
When I do "pharo -vm-sound-ALSA pharo.image", it gives me an error that "could not find module vm-sound-ALSA".

When I do "pharo-help", I find that the only sound driver available is "vm-sound-null", though the others are clearly there in the directory. Is there anything I can do to make the VM acknowledge that the other files are there?

Cheers,

Jeff
