So we're going to have to go for the throat: since pulseaudio is the bane of Ubuntu gamers everywhere, we're going to create a bash script that deactivates it, runs the game and then reactivates it when the game is finished. Voilà:
Unfortunately pulseaudio has a habit of not staying dead. To prevent it from starting itself back up again before we explicitly tell it to, we'll have to explicitly tell it not to turn itself back on until we say so.Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash cd /home/william/PenumbraOverture killall pulseaudio ./penumbra pulseaudio -D
First we create/edit the the pulseaudio configuration file:
And add:Code: Select all
gedit /home/william/.pulse/client.conf
Thanks to frigginacky for this fixCode: Select all
autospawn = no
Once again we can set the Penumbra shortcut to:
Code: Select all
/home/william/PenumbraOverture/run_Penumbra

Fix for Amnesia buzzing sound, Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
NB - same fix that worked with Penumbra seems to work with Amnesia too
