I am trying to get sound working with quake 3 / doom 3 / RTCW from idsoftware.
I don't have a sound card in this box. I just use whatever it is on the MB
and it has always worked well enough to make me happy.
It looks like I am going to have to get a sound card to get sound working with
these games. Anyone have these games working, can you tell me what king of
sound card you use and if you are happy with it?
Isn't there any useful error messages if you start these games from a
terminal?
You might want to try ioquake3, this is the free version build from id
software's GPL code. Among other things are these sound related
features:
* OpenAL is now used for sound. Surround sound supported.
* SDL being used for input, OpenGL context management, and sound.
If you can get sound in SDL apps now, I would guess it would work with ioquake3 too.
