Problems with Realtek ALC850 sound chip

Hi. I've recently upgraded my box And now I'm using the above soundcard. The problem is that I cannot get sound in doom3:

Code:

------ Alsa Sound Initialization -----

dlopen(libasound.so.2)

asoundlib version: 1.0.6

opened Alsa PCM device plughw:0 for playback

buffer size select failed: Invalid argument

close pcm

dlclose

WARNING: sound subsystem disabled



--------------------------------------

I''ve also experienced problems with xmame, but these were easily resolved:

What can be wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

[edit]
Running the game with +set s_numerOfSpeakers 2 allowed me to play using OSS, but alsa is segfaulting due to the above bug.

same exact problem here and also same hardware, i've to play with "doom3 +set s_driver oss" and that's not good... if you find a way, plz let me know, i can't stand using oss

here is my code:

Code:

------ Alsa Sound Initialization -----

dlopen(libasound.so.2)

asoundlib version: 1.0.8

opened Alsa PCM device default for playback

buffer size select failed: Invalid argument

close pcm

dlclose

WARNING: sound subsystem disabled



--------------------------------------

i can't get soound on doom3 me too,,, i have an asus a8v with alc850 chipsound, and i get this message with doom3
