| Is that with motherboard audio? Does a mp3 play ok? I have found sound works best on linux with emu10k1 cards. |

my bad.. it's | Code: | | lspci | grep -i audio |
(from sys-apps/pciutils)
sorry//
anyway, usually, when it comes to sound, quake3 runs better than quake3-bin.. that's funny.
have fun:)

| Check the q3a console log for sound warnings. dmesg may have some too. |

Where did you get quake 3? Upon quick perusal of portage I don't see quake3 or ioquake3, so I presume it's in an overlay?

| OP mentioned that it works with quake3-bin, so this is probably games-fps/quake3-bin, the last bits of which were removed in 2019 in commit games-fps/quake3*: drop vulnerable pkgs. Since this thread is from 2006, quake3-bin could have existed in the main tree back when this thread was new. |

I understand that the original Quake would have been removed for one reason or another by now. However I would expect that since ioquake is still in development security flaws are properly being addressed. I was hoping to find it somewhere in an overlay. Then I could use the pak file from my Quake3 cd. Incidentally, I tried to install Quake3 from the CD, planning to put it in /usr/local, but it refused to install an x86_64 binary that needed glibc 2.1.

It might well be in an overlay these days, yes. My point was that back in 2006 when the post to which you were responding was written, Quake may well have been in ::gentoo, in which case the strictly correct answer to your question would not be useful today.
While we have some members who have been active for a very long time, the person to whom you addressed the question has not posted anything since 2007, so I would not expect a timely response from tehsis now. |

I was searching from outside of Gentoo, and had clicked the "past year" option. So I didn't look at the dates in the post at all. Now I wonder why the heck I got this hit, nothing in it before my post was from the past year.
