UrT has its own q3config.cfg as well as autoexec.cfg. you might want to check these files or even rename them temporarily to see if it helps.

Good to know someone have the same problem here - better chance that we will find a solution. I was just about to post the same thing actually.

After hours spent on google and numerous Linux related sites i know this: the above solution for sound in Q3 is the only one that works, but not for everyone and the music is the thing to blame for some reason (launch the training map in Q3, there's no music and Q3 don't freeze untill you win and the 'podium music' starts). Unfortunately, turning off music doesn't help at all - the only thing that works is removing all music files from pak files, but i'm pretty sure you know what that means on sv_pure and pb servers...

I may sound calm and all, but i'm getting desperate here tbh. You must agree that it's pretty iritating, especially because other q3 based games work like a charm (with music). Someone e-mailed TTimo about this issue but was ignored. id doesn't care anymore.
I'm Running Mandriva 2005 LE and AC97 on-board audio that comes with nForce2 chipset.

Uh... um... HEEELP

Sihiom, do you start UrT from the mod menu or directly by passing +set fs_game q3ut3?

[MaxiM (old)]

There's no difference mate, see my post above - music. No matter what you do there's still music and if freezes q3 along with X. It's not a UrT specific problem.

who says that your problem is the same as Sihiom's? He seems to be able to play Q3 just fine while you are not.

He said he heard sound "when he launched quake" not when he actually played it. I said the same thing because in the menu (and on training map) sound is ok and it doesn't crash. I'm studying this problem for a week now and i'm 99.9% sure that this is the same case.

Let me give you a little background on this topic:

As you can see this problem is pretty common, but Sihion, do tell us if you can play Q3 on any other map than tier 0 map.

So, no idea what's going on, eh? Dammit, i'll have to try running Q3 via Cedega or something

sounds a lot like you're having some sample rate problem. i'd examine the sounds working and those which aren't.
