No Sound

[Phaota]

I just started up the game again a little while ago after Steam updated itself and the game to find there isn't any sound now. The audio settings are fine and all the sounds in my Windows environment run smoothly, just not in the game.

Got the same problem after restarting the game. Dialog audio and music were gone before that and now there is no sound whatsoever.

Validate the integrity of the game cache, and if that doesn't fix it delete the game and redownload again.

Sound is always gone when restarting the game. Also when reinstalling (backup is helpful!). Only a reboot solves this for once. I also installed PulseAudio correctly and ia32libs and tested again, same results.

The game (Cave.bin.x86) also crashed when exiting, if started more than once.

cat /proc/asound/cards

(Realtek ALC850 rev 0 -- from alsamixer)

Sound module: snd-intel8x0

Tested with PulseAudio and without it. Also with SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa" and without it.

Hope this might help! Running on ubuntu 13.04 x86_64.
