Hi all,

I've run into some trouble ("again?" some of you will say)  ;)
I managed to get Quake 3 running in Linux, it wasn't that easy but it runs.
The only glitch is that I don't have any sound at all with it.
I spent the last few days looking for an answer on every site I could find, found some things that didn't work like changing permissions on /dev/dsp and stuff like that.
Now, from reading all the posts here for quite a while I know there are a few Quakeheads here and I dare hope that, once again, you guys can help me out.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong?

Since I almost never play any other game than Q3 (and occasionally Q2) my journey to a life without M$ bloatware would be a lot shorter if I could run it properly  ;)
And of course there would have to be some support for the upcoming Doom III and Quake IV ....

hmmm, had the same problem before, what kind of sound do you have.

the shitty yamaha 724/*i think*/ i had had good sound but couldn't play quake. i know have a maestro based sound card. im sure a more modern soundblaster/*my current card is not without it's problems*/ would also handle quake3

choasforages:
hmmm, as for quake2, don't use idsoftwares install method, it's outdated. try this/*its multiplayer compatible*/

icculus's quake2 installer

this is the version of quake2 i have that loads in less then  a second, it also i think has better graphics then the original quake2, have phun

Ice-9:
Sry, should've mentioned that.
My soundcard is a Terratec XFire 1024, recognized as  Crystalclear Soundfusion audio accelerator.

choasforages:
hmmm, how many years old is it
