Unfortunately, I still can't solve the problem. The demo code has no call to
pygame.mixer.init. Instead, the code (the Shadow of the Beast animation on the
website) looks like:
...
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
pygame.display.set_caption("Shadow of the Beast")
s1 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "bgd1_ciel.png"))
s2 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "bgd2_montagnes.png"))
s3 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "bgd3_sol1.png"))
s4 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "bgd4_sol2.png"))
s5 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "bgd5_sol3.png"))
s6 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "sprite_nuages1.png"))
s7 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "sprite_nuages2.png"))
s8 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "sprite_nuages3.png"))
s9 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "sprite_nuages4.png"))
s10 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "sprite_barriere.png"))
s11 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "fireworks.png"))
s12 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "sprite_arbre.png"))
s13 = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("resources", "scrolltext.png"))
music = pygame.mixer.Sound(os.path.join("resources", "remix.ogg")).play()
pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)
and then the main game loop.
There is no call in the same code to pygame.mixer(), so I added one as you
suggested, and even tried it in several places, like after pygame().init, after
the screen opening, after the call to start the music, and so on, changing only
one line for each test, but had no luck. I checked out the webpage on the use
of the mixer, and found there's a pre_init() call that can be used before
pygame.init(). I even tried that, but it made no difference. I then decided to
use Synaptic Package Manager to re-apply the libsdl mixer library, in case that
was the problem. Still no luck.
By the way, as I mentioned in the original post, I'm using ubuntu Linux.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew.
