Problem with sound on Love2d

mitu

@StefHost From the log file, it seems the .love file tried to use the Jack audio server, but RetroPie doesn't include that. Do you have the source for the Audiotest.love (or a download link) to try it out ?

StefHost

Ok, thanks for the info!

Here is a downloadlink to the Audiotest.love:

Is it possible to install this audio server on RetroPie?

You can, but if jackd takes over the sound, it might interfere with other programs that expect to use alsalib directly.

StefHost

@mitu ok. I understand
Can you help me with installing jack or jackd? :)

mitu

@StefHost I'm not convinced this will be a solution to your problem - I didn't test the sample you in your test.

mitu

I tested the sample you posted with the love package and it plays a sound without problems - no crashing. The version is 0.11:

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/love $  /opt/retropie/ports/love/bin/love --version
LOVE 11.3 (Mysterious Mysteries)

I'm also using the 4.5.1 version and I installed love from source using the RetroPie-Setup menu.

@mitu That's great to hear!
And very weird too 😆

I'm going to try it again!
I will let you know if it's working..

StefHost

@mitu
I don't understand...

I've done a clean install of Retropie last night and installed Love from source as you said.
And i'm still getting the same error.

Can it be because i'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero?
Can i ask what Pi you are using?

Did you configure the sound in a different way?
And are you using HDMI output too?

I hope you can help me.

I'm using a PI model 3.

No, the sound is configured as default - via HDMI.

StefHost

@mitu Thanks. I think i'm going to try buying a model 3 pie then 😅

StefHost

@mitu Hi!

I just wanted to let you know that i have fixed the problem.
I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and that seems to fixed the problem.

Thanks for testing and helping me out!

Greetings Stefan
