Topic: "DIGMID patch set not found"

[Radiant]

Somebody playing on a Mac reports that the audio doesn't work, and he gets the warning: "DIGMID patch set not found". Does anyone know what that means?

This is AGS 3.3 by the way.

[monkey0506]

I don't see anything about it in the OSX docs (checked JanetGilbert and humblebundle's forks), but the Linux README states:

For midi music playback, you have to download GUS patches. We recommend "Richard Sanders's GUS patches" from this address:

http://alleg.sourceforge.net/digmid.html

A direct link is here:

http://www.eglebbk.dds.nl/program/download/digmid.dat

Rename that file to patches.dat. You can now place it:

• in the directory pointed to by the ALLEGRO environment variable; or
• if $ALLEGRO is not defined, in $HOME; or
• in the same folder of the AGS executable.

I'm sure the process is something similar for OSX, but I don't own a Mac so I can't be certain.

Thanks. So that's basically this ticket again; the engine expects MIDI to work even if the game uses MP3/OGG instead, and if MIDI either isn't functional on a computer or disabled via winsetup, then the engine will disable all music.

Hi,

I am new to this forum and hope I get it right. I followed all suggestions in the prior posts above, but it did not do the trick. I am trying to run AGS games via wine in the Arch based Antergos Linux. No chance, I get that message "unable to initialize your audio hardware, DIGMID patchset not found".

I placed the patches.dat file in the game dir and also tried the home dir. Did not work. I noticed when I open the dat file as an archive, there is a patches file in it. But extracting that fails. I tried to download again, same issue. I do not believe the file is really broken.

thanks in advance

I want to clarify this: this error disables the sound and music in game, but does not make the game shutdown, correct?

[zabox]

Yes, that is correct.

[Crimson Wizard]

Here's a patched version for the test. What this patch should do is keep digital sound on if MIDI driver fails (and vice versa).

If you are using precompiled Windows game, put the acwin.exe into game folder, and start it:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/cq08u06m5odx4pf/acwin.exe

If you are building Linux version from our repository, here's the patch that should be applied on top of 'master' branch:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0ls3595flhtpf7b/0001-Engine-do-not-disable-all-audio-drivers-if-only-one-.patch

Please tell if this works for you. In case of success I will add this change to next release.

[zabox]

The game I used to test is the "A Golden Wake Demo" windows version via wine. Putting the acwin.exe into the game dir and starting it results in the same issue as before. Message appears, the game runs but w/o sound/music. This happens in Antergos Linux. I tried with Ubuntu 14.04 a week ago an there it worked.

Also the native Linux version of the game runs well in Antergos with all sound/music.

[Crimson Wizard]

Hmm, try running "acwin.exe --log". There will be a log written to "C:/Users/<Username>/Saved Games/.ags/". Can you post its contents here?

[zabox]

Here's another version with slightly more detailed log:

Sorry for asking you to test this out, but I hope to at least diagnose which step does it stumbles on.

Now the game starts but without sound/music.

There is something beyond my current knowledge: if it tries to init both digital and midi sounds, there is one error message, but when it tries to init one of them separately, there are other error messages.

Anyways, from the looks of the log it appears the problem is not just in MIDI, but also in digital driver. I do not know how this works under WINE. Have you tried choosing other drivers in setup?

I wish I could set up similar situation on my computer to test various things faster, but unfortunately I do not have much free time now, and I am leaving city for some time. Maybe I will when I am back.


PS. I tried to find out how Allegro 4 does sound initialization, and TBH Allegro library code looks even worse than AGS in some places... for example, it checks number of digital voices even if digital sound is off.

[zabox]

I tried all combinations. I will help you with the setup when you are back. Then just leave a note here.

[Crimson Wizard]

Well, I added the patch to recent engine release (3.3.4).

However, I am still not sure how this problem rises up.

It was believed that this is caused by MIDI that cannot initialize. However, according to the logs provided by zabox above, the "No DIGMID patch" error appears when engine tries to init both MIDI and digital sounds, but it does not occur when it inits MIDI without digital sounds. Also, initializing digital sound without MIDI failed too.
Latter makes me think that this might be a result of more than one problem combined.

I wished I knew how I could reproduce this situation on my computer.
