Any real fix for the sound yet?

[klawxx]

Have anyone found a way to make the sound finally work ?

All i can hear are the cores "humming". Eventually a gun click and then silence...
Have tried the Open AL and some other sugestions here and there, but nothing seems to work.

From time to time I can hear some new PEW PEW sounds from cannon, but beams, for instance, beams are always quiet. This is after power 2.0 latest build, but happens since I stated StarMade, like 2013.

I Usually just turn off the "sound" and star a Media Player on background.

Also, the core "humming" get annoying after a while.

EDIT: Before anyone asks, This happens on every computer I've installed StarMade so far... Windows and Linux alike.

The current sound engine is pretty much a placeholder, a new one is being worked on for some time now.

I believe the sound is working fine, at least, in the capacity that it is currently implemented.
The core humming, cannon fire, missile launch, explosions, and a few menu chirps are all there is.
There are a lot of other sounds in the game directory, but I don't believe there are actually any events tied to them.

Exactly, the sound library is already done, we even have a soundtrack in the works, the problem is that the engine currently is very limited. It's been a low priority and even I voiced my concerns about that a couple times (sounds, or lack thereof, being crucial to immersion, just listen to Elite: Dangerous for example, both the music and the sound effects, you'll seewhat I'm talking about, that game nailed the sound department just about perfect). I only hope that we get the new one soon (either cleanup update or universe update)

It's not that I'm complaining about poor sounds. What I'm trying to say is that I hear only one shot then the cannon goes silent, like dead silent, but the core humming continues. Its the only sound in the game that's not interrupted.

The problem where it would play a few sounds, and then go silent has been fixed (at least for me, and many others) for quite a while now.
You might try toggling some of the sound options off and on and then restarting.
Or, maybe just delete or rename your settings.cfg to reset everything to defaults and see if it starts working.

I haven't tried to delete the cfg. Will do. Thanks!
