when i start q3 without the sound(alsactl power off) , it runs normal, but when its on(and make the compatibility with oss, echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss),the map starts, it stops....

thats it.

hey dude you know what i did? i took off alsa in the kernel when i recompiled it, but enabled sound support. I then downloaded the latest Alsa from www.alsa-project.org and recompiled it in my system. After following the instructions on the site, and did everything, sound in Quake 3 now works flawless.

Thanx it helped,
I have a 4-channel vt82xx sound card and I experienced this on my old comp with this card.

for q3arena demo this is the command:

echo "q3demo.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

I've put it in my start scipt
