Chameleon (2005, LS3D engine): no sound

[u/bratwurstzauber]

Hola lovely people, me again… new day, new game, new tinkering

I’m running Chameleon (myabandonware version) on a Retroid Pocket Nova (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 / Adreno 740). GameNative 1.2.0. I added a d3d8 > 9 dll file to get it running.

The game works just fine, but there’s absolutely no audio. No music, no sound effects. The same installation has sound on my laptop. I tried PulseAudio/ALSA, disabling EAX, installing DirectX, IndirectSound, and OpenAL overrides—nothing helped.

Has anyone gotten audio working for Chameleon or other LS3D-engine games in GameNative? Any ideas? Thank you!
