Hello,

Le 29-09-2006, Alan Ianson <alianson@xxxxxxx>:
Hello All,

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?



Humm, your sound is maybe blocked by another application. If you use
Gnome or Kde, there is a sound daemon that prevents you to open the
sound device.

If this is the case, you must turn off the sound daemon while you are
playing :
- - esdctl standby for Gnome (package esound-client),
- - something similar for ARTS/Kde (artsctl standby ???).

Then you should hear the sound with Quake 3.

You can test if you have a sound daemon with : "ps aux | grep esd" or
"ps aux | grep arts"....

Kind regard
Sylvain Le Gall
