X-Plane crashes as soon as XSB accesses the audio hardware

[Timo Adler 1218610]

Hello,

 

the title describes my issue pretty much. As soon as I try to enter the XSB Audio Setup or when I connect to a server and the audio should start, X-Plane crashes.

The error Message claims a segmentation fault.

I'm on Linux (Gentoo) with X-Plane 9.70 and XSB 1.0.6.

Because of the SIGSEGV I investigated further and produced the following callstack:

LINUX: I saw filesystem type "iso9660", but I wanted "udf"
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I've got a quadcore CPU so I use a 64bit environment. For compatibility there's a package of 32bit libs available which contains libasound.so.2.0.0 (packed at 20110928)

There's no sound server running. Starting pulseaudio prior to running X-Plane doesn't change the behaviour.

 

Since the crash renders me unable to participate in online flights, I'd be very happy if someone could help me out.

If you need any more information just drop a message. The Log.txt doesn't contain anything useful. As a starting point I'd like to know what libasound versions you are using. Here is the information I collected about mine:

Hmm...I haven't seen this one before.

 

Just as a side note, XSB is 32-bit only and will likely remain that way for quite some time. I realize you said you're using compatibility libs, so that should be fine. I just wanted to point it out for other Linux users.

 

I can take a look at the code this weekend. However, I'll be upfront and say I didn't write it and am not Linux sound developer, so I'm not confident the issue is going to jump out at me. However, perhaps working with you we can find out what's being p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ed in the parameters and solicit help from people who are experienced in Linux sound code.

Hi!

 

I've exactly the same crash. Is there a solution?

I'm having same issue. But its 2014 now. Xsquawkbox has a 64bit version out now I've installed and still the same thing happens. Any ideas??

 

Cheers,

I am having this issue as well on 64 bit.

Did you produce a backtrace and can confirm it is similar to the one originally posted or is the SIGSEG received from somewhere else?
