Audio initialization failure on win2000

Featured Replies

Hi,i'm running FlightGear v0.9.8 on Windows 2000 and when I try to launch the game I get an audio initialization failure, wich causes FG to fail to launch. My settings and report are listed below.General Dynamics F-16w, 3d cockpitR47 Ruhes default runwayCommand line:c:program filesFlightGearbinWin32fgfs.exe--fg-root=c:Program FilesFlightGeardata--fg-scenery=c:Program FilesFlightGeardataScenery;c:Program FilesFlightGearscenery--airport-id=R47--aircraft=f16-3d--control=keyboard--disable-intro-music--disable-random-objects--disable-sound--enable-hud--disable-anti-alias-hud--enable-horizon-effect--disable-specular-highlight--disable-ai-models--fog-disableFlightGear v0.9.8 Cmd:Failed to find runway 28R at airport R47Audio initialization failed!Unknown exception in the main loop, Aborting...Possible cause: No errorI don't have a sound card for I am on a desktop pc at work.Grt

It appears that at one time audio support could be left out when FlightGear was built by using the --enable-audio-support=no option when running configure. It looks like this is being deprecated:from configure.ac: dnl ENABLE_AUDIO_SUPPORT could be depricated at any time in favor ofdnl just assuming we have audio support on all platform. We candnl depend on plib to hide the details.AC_DEFINE([ENABLE_AUDIO_SUPPORT], 1, [Define for audio support])That's too bad. You can add it back into the configure.ac script yourself and rebuild. The ENABLE_AUDIO_SUPPORT value is still honored in src/Main/fginit.cxx.Dave
