Linux: No audio in quake 3

[loic2003]

Anyone got any idea how to sort this? I certainly have audio capabilities in the OS.

TIA.

You can try the command line option +set s_driver oss.

from the terminal, type alsamixer and adjust your levels.

Q3 uses the old OSS /dev/dsp interface while most distributions use ALSA by default. Usually as long as the OSS compatibility modules are loaded (snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss) OSS apps will work fine. Run 'grep oss /proc/modules) and see if they're there. You could also try running Q3 under the ALSA OSS compat script (i.e. aoss q3) and see if that helps, although when I tried that with ET the sound was there but sounded like crap.
