I can assure you that everything works quite fine, just not Quake3. I can easily playback q3 music outside q3. As for the hardware: nvaudio supports everything up to 48kHz.

when you say "play q3 music outside q3" are you talking arts, esound, alsa or oss?

if you use KDE or Gnome, disable a sound server (arts).


Login as root, and type:

(kernel 2.4 series)

chmod 666 /dev/dsp
chmod 666 /dev/mixer


If you use kernel 2.6 series + udev:

vim /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions

locate all sound devices, change all permissions to 666.

:wq!

actually it's artsd (kde) and esd (gnome)

anyway, sound is working, so it ain't a permission problem.

Yeah, it's quite q3-specific since ET, TC:E & RTCW works mighty fine. I'm gonna try 2.6 trick since i used only 2.4 one before, but i cincerely doubt it will help. But on the other hand - who knows?

my question about which sound system you use when playing the sounds outside q3 still stands...

I tried both ALSA and OSS - work's like a charm.
And remember, it happens in Q3 only.

Damn i loved UrT main menu music, but now i wish it wouldn't be there, because it's the only thing that keeps me from playing this game. I don't care about vanilla Q3 ](*,)

nvsound is oss only, you did try unloading that module before running alsa's driver right? (and vice versa)

My sound card doesn't use nvaudio driver, it's doesn't even work with it (don't ask me :?). It's using snd-intel8x0 driver by default and looks like it's the only one that works properly.

OK guys, I'm having exactly the same problem. When I start UT, it locks up with a 'chop chop chop chop' sound. When I finish the first tier in Quake3, it locks up too on the 'victory' screen, with 'clang clang clang clang'. In other words, as soon as music starts playing, the game crashes and the problem seems to be in Quake3 itself, not just UrT.

I'm running it under Gentoo, 2.6 kernel, ALSA driver. I tried disabling artsd, no effect. I have integrated AC97 sound on my motherboard and therefore I'm using the VIA 82C686A kernel module. All other games, like UT2004, Enemy Territory, ... work fine.
Does the fact that nobody posted anything in this thread during the last month, mean that the problem is solved? Or has everyone 'sploded due to total frustration? :)
