No sound

So I tried to run alda and play some notes but I don't hear anything (also I get an error about constructing terminal which can be worked around by setting TERM=xterm-color)

~/P/alda (master|…) $ bin/alda repl

Playing from a file also doesn't work

~/P/alda (master|…) $ echo "bassoon: o2 d8 e (quant 30) f+ g (quant 99) a2" > test.alda
~/P/alda (master|…) $ alda play --file test.alda
[27713] Parsing/evaluating...

I should probably say that I am running Arch Linux

I read in a comment on the issue you linked that the "Failed to construct terminal" issue can be solved by upgrading JLine to 2.14.4+. I'll cut a new release of Alda that has a newer version of JLine, and hopefully that should fix it. (EDIT: Alda 1.0.0-rc82 is out with this fix.)

Off-hand, I'm not sure why you might not be hearing sound... it could be for a number of reasons. What version of Java are you running? (i.e. what's the output of java -version?)

[Emiluren]

➜  ~ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_172"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)

the package I have installed is

extra/jdk8-openjdk 8.u172-2 (8.2 MiB 38.0 MiB) (Installed)
    OpenJDK Java 8 development kit

Unrelated but I also opened an issue about the server version error message. It may be unnecessary but I just thought I'd make a note of it.

Closing this issue as it isn't clearly related to Alda. I'm happy to help troubleshoot further if possible!
