Spring RTS Engine

I need help to fix a no sound pb in spring.
Config : W7, sound OK in général and in the lobby, no sounds in spring.exe, maxsound is low, sound volume is 100.

here's what we can see in the logs :
[f=0000000] Loading Sound Definitions
[f=0000000] [Sound] parsed 27 sounds from gamedata/sounds.lua
[f=0000000] [Sound] Error: Unable to open audio file: IncomingChat
[f=0000000] [Sound] Error: CSound::GetSoundId: could not find sound: IncomingChat
[f=0000000] Game::LoadDefs (Sound): 4 ms

any idea ?

Thx for help

Give us the infolog. Paste the entire infolog on pastebin.com and give us the link. A partial infolog is worse and more annoying than no infolog.

Also do the same for with your springsettings.cfg and tell us which game you're trying to play.

No need for that, silentwings... The infolog would tell us that.

Now it's item 5: an "ask-and-run"

Actually the infolog only shows the game he has, not the one he is trying to play :)

No need for that...

As I was writing that I was actually thinking "Forbs gonna say..." :D And then I thought, at least if the guy pulled out some game I'd never even heard of it would save me the trouble of...

Here the INFOLOG :

And here the SpringSettings :

One more info if it can help : sounds were working with the multi-thread version that I used before the V95.

thx for help

[f=0000000] [Sound] Max Sounds: 2

Try setting that to a higher value in spring settings: spring.exe->edit settings

Using additional configuration source: "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\springsettings.cfg"

You have multiple springsettings.cfg. Please read this: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=31136 it may or may not help with this problem but its worth sorting out in any case. (If it turns out that you are using a lobby that creates springsettings.cfg in AppData then either update your lobby or complain about it)

-> this is not the cause of the problèm

try to rename/delete "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\springsettings.cfg"

having two config files mostly causes trouble / leads to (looking like) undefined behaviour.

-> Thanks for the advise, i tryed it, but this does not fix the pb.

Some more things:

- check that loudspeakers are turned on and not on mute

- check that windows has an audio device enabled, open device manager and check if there are any ! before any of the devices

- open sound settings and check that spring has not been muted, check that master volume has not been muted, check that sound device is not using digital audio

- check that volume setting in spring is above 0

-> All checked and sounds works well for any other softwares.
The problème is only in Spring.exe mono thread

Pb was finally fixed by reinstalling the portable version of spring in a new 'clean' directory.
