Couldn't initialise audio, audio is disabled

[zreeon]

I get the above error whenever I start Factorio. Audio was working about a week ago. Searching around the forums I couldn't find anything else like this.

Here is the log file:

Moved to Technical Help.

Have you tried viewtopic.php?f=49&t=10055 ?

Thanks, that seems to have fixed it!

I glanced over that when I was reading the "known issues" post but didn't look too hard because it was describing audio lag. Maybe change the title to something like, "audio lags or is disabled on linux" to help the next person?
