Dolphin Emulator on Arch Linux crashes when launching a game - tobias6626 - 09-01-2018

I am running the latest version of Arch with the (newest) git version of dolphin, but every time I try to run a game it crashes with:


Code:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1099:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘std::system_error’
what(): Das Argument ist ungültig //Translation: Invalid argument


Does aynbody know how to fix this error?

Solved it myself I just had to change the audio-backend to pulse

( Late answer ) If you have a frensh install you might miss an audio package therefore archlinux is crashing. Just do :

# sudo pacman -Sy pulseaudio-alsa

and you will be able to launch dolphin-emu.
