Cold War no sound
coryrj19951 Oct 10, 2015
I recently got two old LGP games from Desura, Sacred Gold and Cold War. Sacred runs just fine and sound works but for Cold War I get no sound at all. I have tried a couple of fixes like removing the lib folder and editing the alsa config file, but so far haven't found a fix. Does anyone else have this game or know how to get sound working?

You don't use ALSA, you use PulseAudio.

I've always been confused on how sound works on Linux, might be why I have this problem too :P
