snd_musiccmd option ignored (linux)

[jali-peno]

Background

Version of Chocolate Doom: 3.0.0 (installed via luxtorpeda, same result noticed in the flatpak build)

Operating System and version: Linux (Nobara Linux 38)

Game: The Ultimate Doom

Any loaded WADs and mods (please include full command line): launched from luxtorpeda, vanilla doom

Bug description:

setting the option snd_musiccmd in the settings to use my physical midi synth (variable set to aplaymidi -p 20:0) has zero effect and the game uses the music playback option specified in settings

Observed behavior: game continues to play back the music using the option chosen in the setup application

Expected behavior: game will use aplaymidi instead

[jali-peno]

if its at all relevant, my synthesiser is a roland sc88pro running through a roland um one midi to usb interface. the synthesiser is currently set to general midi mode

using aplaymidi with the same options shown in settings plays all of my midis just fine

There have been a lot of changes to music support since the 3.0 release. Can you test latest git?

[jali-peno]

i can do that sure! just give me a bit to try to find out how to compile it, dont do this often

[jali-peno]

sorry to take so long. i can confirmthat the latest version 3.0.1 still has issues

[turol]

3.0.1 is the latest release but there have been a LOT of changes in the git tree. Either clone it with git or wait for 3.1.0.

[mikeday0]

This has to be an SDL2_mixer problem. If you run from the command line, do you see any error messages?

[mikeday0]

What do you have your music device set to? On Linux you should select Native MIDI, GUS or Timidity in order for snd_musiccmd to be used.
