MAEMO: No music. Possible regression

Description

After upgrading to ScummVM 1.3.1 on my Nokia N900 (Maemo 5 / Fremantle) there's no MIDI music at all. SFX works fine. MIDI used to work with version 1.2.0.

OK, found the problem, apparently your need to edit the .scummvmrc file and set "music_driver=adlib" then music works. For some reason this cannot be accomplished using the GUI. Maybe it should be set that way by default in future versions.

comment:2 by digitall, 13 years ago

This should be possible with the GUI: Options->Audio->Preferred Device change to "Adlib Emulator". This can be set per game IIRC.

The problem here is related to the "default" selections for Audio/MIDI/Music drivers and the autodetect of the best output for a game. There are two open tasks to refactor and improve this, but it is a fair epic project to do: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/OpenTasks/Audio/Audio_Output_Selection http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/OpenTasks/Audio/MIDI_Device_Configuration

negativeiq: Could you please confirm if this can be corrected via the GUI as I indicated?

Where did you get a maemo 1.3.1 scummvm package? There is no official 1.3.1 release for maemo. The last official release was 1.2.1. I am working on an official revival of the maemo port but it doesn't yet properly support N900 (N810 only so far)

tdhs: Confirmed working. One exception - no music on QFG1 (original version) when playing on Maemo.

tsoliman: Version 1.3.1 is available in the Maemo APT repository.

comment:6 by digitall, 13 years ago

negativeiq: Please can you check: 1. If your config file has an override for the music_driver for the QFG1 original which is stopping music working (Via the GUI, you select the game and then choose Options, which then has a checkbox for "Use Global Options" on each tab, which if unchecked allows override by game specific settings).

2. Please can you confirm that this _is_ a regression from v1.2.0 on QFG1 original, rather than a regression from the original interpreter (run under say DOSBox) as not all music formats are fully supported...

This bug is nice to get fixed before the release. Raising priority for keeping the track.

This is an unofficial package and not supported. (Unofficial meaning it was created by a person not on the official team) The last official maemo package is 1.2.1. 1.4.0 will have maemo support again but has not been tested with n900 yet. I will put out snapshots when the testing periods starts (watch the maemo sub-forum on scummvm.org)

While we do not support this 1.3.1 maemo build, you are welcome to help test the upcoming 1.4.0 release by grabbing a snapshot build from here: http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=10902
