Hello People!!!
Hope you all are doing fine.-:D
I got Victor Vran (Linux GOG version) installed on mi compu but NO SOUND!!!! OMG!!!!:eek:
The game installed perfect and starts ok but no sound at all

I read this: The following packages must be installed: libc6: i386 libasound2: i386 libasound2-data: i386 libasound2-plugins: i386 and their dependencies:rolleyes:

But Im not able to install this "things" - My terminal always send me to hell and does not install anything.-:mad:

Please, you are the gods of linux gaming, help this lil mortal.... I beg you :p

Hi Lorena! I hope things are going well with you and your family!
Yeah, the best way is to use the terminal and run the install commands to install these packages.
I use Mint, so you should be able to run Synaptics Package Manager and search for them individually, but it really depends on if they are available in your Distro's repository.
In Mint, I normally just install the package: ia32-libs
This installs almost all 32-bit packages needed for most gaming.
What distro are you using?

In Mint I would run the command like this:

Code:
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libasound2 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins libasound2-plugins:i386

Looks like your original command has some spaces between the colon and the i386. I think that is why they didn't work.
 
Holis Boo!!!!

Im using Mint 20 (XFce) Ulyana.
And yes maybe the problem was the spaces.
Im gonna try that "thing" tomorrow. Now my computer was hijacked by my son to play Counter Strike!!!

The libasound2-data is the 64-bit version. They just stopped using :i386 for anything 64-bit.
Looks like you already had them installed.

Did you try installing: ia32-libs

I found this post on GOG about installing 32-bit libraries, but I have a feeling they are already installed with ia32-libs packags.
Code:
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libqtgui4:i386
https://www.gog.com/forum/victor_vran/linux_sound_fix_for_ubuntu_1404

Also, you could use the Terminal to launch Victor Vran and it will output errors
 
No Boo, I didnt install ia32-libs
I did the code you gave me first only.-
Im gonna try install it with Synaptic

BTW what is this mesa thing?
libglu1-mesa:i386

Ohhh and I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 ti (video card) and 12 GB Ram - just for you to know
the processor is AMD A6 7400k
 
I got this on the terminal while trying your second code:

fleetwood@fleetwood:~$ sudo apt install libc6:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libqtgui4:i386
[sudo] password for fleetwood:

Package libqtgui4:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libqtgui4:i386' has no installation candidate
fleetwood@fleetwood:~$

MMMMMM.... now what? :rolleyes:
 
That mesa package is probably for Intel video chips, like on a laptop.
I have GeForce video cards too. I even have a 750 Ti in one of my PCs too.

Oh, wait a second, what are you using for speakers?
  • Analog
  • HDMI
  • USB
 
I did reboot after installing ia32-libs
tested the game and nothing

Now i tried your second codes game me the texts I copy in my post
game still no sound
 
it says Built In Analog Stereo
my speakers connect through USB port
simple small speakers

Ok, and I'm assuming audio works with everything else in Mint.
Yeah this is strange. I'm gonna download it myself from GOG and see if my Mint 20.1 has any audio issues.
I'm using analog as well.
 
yes audio works on everything else... its a pity i cant listen to the game
if i dont find a workaround im going to install it on my husband compu (the traitor uses Win10) but its an old Core 2 Duo one and not as good as mine :rolling:

Don't give up yet, I'll try it and see if I have similar issues.
 
Just installed Victor Vran and guess what???
No sound for me either!

Here is my output, I'm going to research how to fix this!
Code:
Running Victor Vran
ALSA lib conf.c:3722:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
ALSA lib pcm.c:2642:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
AL lib: alsa.c:512: Could not open playback device 'default': No such file or directory
AL lib: oss.c:169: Could not open /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
 
Steps taken:
  • Reinstalled Alsa
  • Installed alsa again: sudo apt install alsa-*
  • LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib32/libasound.so.2:/usr/lib/libasound.so.2" start.sh
  • Re-installed libasound2-plugins
  • Symbolic link to: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so in Victor Vran's lib directory /home/username/GOG Games/Victor Vran/game/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu
 
Wow, nothing is working so far!!!
I can't believe this ???
 
I think this comes down to Pulsaudio and an older game like Victor Vran.
Its actually not that old, but its audio supports Alsa in a way that our current Mint 20 version doesn't like.
I'm not even sure how to downgrade Pulseaudio, but is it even worth it?

I had a similar issue with GOG version of Trine. It had a native version but the libraries in Mint 19.3 no longer supported the ones Trine needed. There was a folder in the Trine game directory that had libraries, but for some reason it still couldn't find the right ones. So I downloaded a library, put it in the folder and BAM! It worked!
Wish we could do that with Victor Vran!
 
well at least now i know ITS NOT MY COMPUTER.-
honestly I dont understand much about sound, pulsaudio and alsa and all that things.
cause i always have on board audio, so no need to touch anything
ill wait for your tests and see if u can fix it, cause right now, its already too much for my knowledge
thanks for your help Boo
