    Now, I know on some other forums this has already been discussed, but I wasn't sure if it had been here or not yet and I wanted to 1) make sure that you guys know about it and 2) give you a little more information that I didn't find on the other forums.



    In short, sound -- whether or enabled or disabled in settings at any volume -- does not work in the Linux distribution of this game (at least in Ubuntu-based distributions such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint).



    In other forums, I have seen that if you use OpenJDK to run Java programs, you can copy a libopenal64.so file from the StarMade folder to a folder in your Java files to fix the issue. However, I tried the same thing with Oracle's standard Java 7 runtime for Linux and it did not work.



    Thank you in advance for your help on this issue.

    Does this work? You may also have to install some openal stuff using your package manager.
