[Solved] [0.12.26] Audio disabled in Arch Linux
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 5:34 am
When I originally demoed the game to make sure I could run it, the sound didn't work ("Couldn't initialise audio, audio is disabled") and I was able to use the standard solution in the known issues thread. Specifically, "padsp factorio-demo" fixed the sound, and so I expected to be able to do the same with the full version of the game.
I purchased the game on Steam, and it (as expected) doesn't work with the purchased version. However, when I try to use the same solution ("padsp ./factorio"), I get the following:
It appears that invoking the steam version from the shell invokes Factorio through Steam, and involves Steam modifying the shared library path so that the executable will use the packaged shared libraries. However, this conflicts with padsp's modification of the same shared library path, which ends in conflicts between the two versions of the shared libraries.
I would use the non-Steam version of the game - where the workaround is likely to work - but, as mentioned in this other thread, it's not possible to go from a Steam purchase to a website account at this time.
I've made sure that I've removed the demo version that I originally installed, I've reinstalled the Steam version, and I've tried the experimental version through Steam, but, as expected, none of those helped.
What can I do to get Factorio to run with sound? I'd rather not wait an indeterminate amount of time for either the sound bug to be fixed or the Steam integration to be added.
