Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the sound working in Quake 3. The game run allright. But with no sound. It says it can't mmap /dev/sound/dsp. Hmm I'm running a 2.6.9 devsources kernel with kompiled in alsa support. The sound works fine otherwise. I found an old thread about the subject, but I suspect it was for 2.4 kernels, so I won't even bother with that. The only thing I've tried is changing the sound device in q3config from /dev/dsp to /dev/sound/dsp. And it didn't help. Got any ideas?
Edit: Yeah I know it's Christmas, but here in Sweden we celebrate on the 24th.

Hmm I don't remember actually. I'll check it out. I saw someone mention on another forum that I should load the OSS compability thing as a module. Don't know what good it would do though. Anyways, I'll check out the kernel config now.
Edit; Yep its compiled in.
Edit2: Got another tip.
| Code: | | echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss |
Now the sound works, but the game hangs when I try to play it. But I got sound in the menus anyway.

I only get sound when I perform these two steps before playing:
| Code: | echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "quake3.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss |
Maybe that'll solve your problem, too... |

No, it doesn't.  And as a bonus the mouse runs at the game's speed in X after killing the crashed game. Very funny. Not.

Quake plays it sound through OSS. If you have an ALSA-based system (I have), then you need tp emulate the OSS so that the sound coming in the OSS-Format is played by ALSA. Just load the module. If it still doesn't work, here's how I fixed it:
start an soundserver (esd and artsd work) and run quake with: "artsdsp -m /usr/games/bin/quake3.x86" for artsd or "esddsp -m /usr/games/bin/quake3.x86" for the esd.
