Timidity

[Jonney]

I recently upgraded my pandora to hotfix 5 by reflashing it. Since then I've been unable to get Scummvm to work with Timidity. Everything was working fine before I updated. Now when I try to launch a game that is setup to use MIDI, I get the error: failed to initalize sound driver. I've tried reinstalling Timidity to the NAND and SD, but neither seems to make a difference. Has anybody else encountered this issue, or is it just me?

I have the same issue. Have only run varients of HF5 so I don't know if it worked with previous ones.

Yeah, I've got no sound at all in Scummvm since installing HF5. Odd though, I thought Timidity would only affect music and midi stuff, not sound effects and voices.


Thinking of downgrading to HF4 again...

Got a link for HF4? I'm having the same issues and some others.

I just wanted to add that sound works in ScummVM for me with hotfix 5 as long as I leave it at defaults. As soon as I choose Timidity then it will crash into debug mode.

The plot thickens! I was using all defaults as well, and only started messing with the config when I found it had no sound.


So, HF4 is no longer available online? I hope I still have it somewhere on my desktop PC...

So I did still have it on my PC, and using a bit of logic (and the original file name), This seems to be still working!


I'm just about to start downgrading: I'll let you know how it goes.


[edit]Success! Flashed OK and Scummvm has sound again! [/edit]

Is this sound issue in HF5 being looked at by OP? Has a fix been found yet?
