Questions about FAudio #3

Closed Ahmed-E-86 closed 5 years ago

Ahmed-E-86 commented 5 years ago

I have some questions about Faudio

1- I use your FAudio builds to be able to use FAudio, but a few games produces no sound at all when using it, so I decided to stop using it.

2- I heard that FAudio is part of Wine since version 4.3, but I use Kubuntu 19.04, and FAudio dependencies can only be installed from external repository https://launchpad.net/~cybermax-dexter/+archive/ubuntu/sdl2-backport (I am not sure if that is still the case or not) and I don't know what do I need to install from this repoistory, because the information in the internet about it is so confusing.

3- The developer of FAudio doesn't provide any support for these builds, and he just close any issues related to them, and the last time I tried to reach him, he blocked me form posting any thing in his github page, so I am confused, and pissed off at the same time, and I don't know what is the point of using it anyway!

  1. Probably MinGW builds of FAudio are less functional than native library (libFAudio.so). And seems like 32-bit builds are broken, maybe i will remove them soon.
  2. I suppose it's necessary to install at least faudio, libsdl2 and ffmpeg.
  3. Well, i think the reason is that my builds are unofficial and the developer can't be sure in their integrity.

1- You are totally right. 32bit games are the game that have issues. 2- Libsdl2 is installed as a dependency for Wine, ffmpeg is installed as well, and when I search for FAudio, I find these files, and I don't know what should I install exactly

Faudio

3- I don't know, he didn't even give me a change!

Libsdl2 is installed as a dependency for Wine

Be sure that libsdl2 is installed from the external repo, FAudio requires at least SDL2 2.0.9 and the main Ubuntu repo contains 2.0.8 version.

I find these files, and I don't know what should I install exactly

According to the packages list of that repo libfaudio0 is FAudio 19.06, so you probably want to install libfaudio0. Other packages (libfaudio, libfaudio0-amd64 and libfaudio0-i386) are FAudio 19.03.

Ahmed-E-86 commented 5 years ago

The installed version of libsdl2 is 2.0.9.

Thanks for answering my questions. Have a good day.
