Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Linux Mint GZDOOM no sound

Post by Guest »

Hi, I am somewhat new to linux and I have installed GZDOOM v3.7.2 ubuntu, modern 64 bit to my Linux Mint 19 computer and while the game plays as intended I have no sound what so ever, also while messing around with the sound options in the MIDI DEVICE option I found that some options would output a "could not load libfluidsynth.so.1" and "could not open MIDI out device. I am sure this has something to do with me missing a library but I don't know how to install it, please help.

Try installing the "openal" or "libopenal" (most likely the latter) package.

The package should have requested that package from your package manager and gotten it to automatically install.
