Sound on (K)ubuntu 15.04 64bit with SL Viewer 3.8.x

Hi

just a quick Q, realizing that Linux is no longer supported by LL...

To get sound working in the SL viewer I recently had to disable the bundled OpenAL and have the viewer use the system OpenAL instead, by doing this (could probably just have linked to the system lib directly, who knows):

# From within the Second Life viewers "lib" directory
cp /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1* ./
rm libopenal.so.1
ln -s libopenal.so.1.15.1 libopenal.so.1

That got general sound going, but not voice. Any idea where to look to get voice going too?

Coincidentally sound and voice work fine with the TPV I'm currently using, regardless whether I use their 32bit or 64bit version. I just need it to work with the original viewer too.

 

Thanks
Jenni

I manged to get the voice to work.

I downloaded firestormviewer from http://www.firestormviewer.org/.

I copied the files libvivoxoal.so.1, libvivoxplatform.so, and libvivoxsdk.so from the lib directory of firestormviewer to the lib directory of Second life.

That did the trick.

 

To get sounds to work I just run "cp /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libopenal.* ./" that seems to be enough to get things working.
