He finds an exploit in JRE 1.7+ to force us to roll back to JRE 1.6 -- a version without the sound issue. Very clever.

One of the more difficult bug fixes I've ever done.

Guess it's not terribly surprising another major bug was found in a version of Java literally plagued with bugs since the week before it was even released.

Actually, in my experience, update 32 and 33 of Java 1.6 had the KGS sound issue. I assume subsequent updates of Java 6 also do.

Edit: I just updated to 1.6 update 35, and still have the KGS sound issue. And the -J-Dsun.sound.useNewAudioEngine="false" fix did not work.

I didn't feel that the fix or description was simple, but I did all the things in this thread and one of them worked. But I can't tell you whether it was changing the shortcut or using the big ugly hack. Also, I have about 4 java/jre directories on my computer so I had to stick the big ugly hack file in them all but it finally worked. I got the problem bc of the latest java update 2 days ago. Wish I could be more help. :scratch:

Here's the thread: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=4570

Yeah, I'm on 1.6 update 29, and haven't sound, either. I hadn't seen that fix before either, I tried adding that to my bash script, but alas it didn't work.

What are the other fixes? The only one I'd seen prior to this was "uninstall 1.7 and install 1.6"... which obviously doesn't apply to me.

I have 1.6_30 and have not had any sound issues, perhaps your issues are related to those in the KGS/Linux sound issue threads?

:oops: I wasn't running update 35 after all. It seems after I downloaded and installed update 35, one of the updates for some other software downloaded and installed OpenJDK. In fact, when I do use both the switch to use the old audio engine and the aoss driver when using update 35, KGS sound does work for me, including the stone click. :oops: I wonder what I was hadd running when I thought I'd tried 32 or 33? :oops:

Not surprising.

From the article:
Quote:
Downgrading to an earlier version of Java is not advised, because even though earlier versions aren't vulnerable to this particular exploit, they may contain other bugs that expose still other vulnerabilities.


Not a fix at all.
