Failed to open audio: Fragment size must be a power of two ?

[generic]

So i got vba on linux. I installed and I get this Failed to open audio stuff. I tried to output=2 fix but it did work until I rebooted and now it does not. I have tried to reinstall it, and mess with the config file. Here is a debug

code run

This right here is what happens when i try to open a game.

Code: Select all

Help please!

Can you be more specific about the version of gvbam you're using ? Did you build it yourself ?

 

If so, can you try to change line 90 in src/common/SoundSDL.cpp to :

Code: Select all

audio.samples = 1024;

we haven't broken SDL audio have we?

No I did not build it my self i built it with pacman on arch linux. The vba-m-gtk-svn latest version.

 

Ill try to build it myself with your recommendation. But is there another way to fix it? Build stuff with out the package manager can cause problems in my distro. I just don't what went wrong it was working fine before I rebooted. I was getting the exact same error before and switching the display output from 1 to 2 worked and now it doesnt.
