How To Get Sound Working On Gridwars2

I am a fan of the Gridwars2 game. If you have problems installing Gridwars2 in Ubuntu, see my post about installing it HERE.  I have been successful in installing Gridwars2 in versions from 10.04 to 11.04.

After installing it in a test version of Ubuntu 11.04 Unity install, the sound would not work.  I found this solution that worked:

sudo apt-get install alsa-oss

Then, run Gridwars with this command:

aoss ./gridwars

If you are not running the command from within the Gridwars directory, adjust the path to point to the Gridwars executable.

Have fun with Gridwars!
