Apparently Autodesk Maya has not move beyond Open Sound System to ALSA or better yet JACK. Since I am working with studios using Maya 7.0.1 (yeah I know its ancient, but studios tried to stay legal nowadays so I am bearing with it), a recent upgrade from Fedora 8 to 11 broke Maya sound. It was not detected a couple of months back since we have yet to reach animation stages which require sound. Long story short, it hit us and boy was I surprise when I saw from the-Area forum that Maya 2009 faces the same problem!! Here’s the solution to solve it in Fedora 11:-
- Make sure you have installed
alsa-oss alsa-oss-libs alsa-plugins-oss
- create symbolic link pointing
libaudiofile.so
to
libaudiofile.so.0.0.2
- In your favorite terminal emulator, start Maya by typing
aoss maya
