q3demo hangs when match over - due to access being blocked to /dev/dsp. Its fine with no sound...

This is the same under KDE and Fluxbox and I can't get GNOME to start atm...

Would updating KDE or Quake help any? cos this has happened with quite a few games, something to with artsd i think. I'm running the default version of KDE for Redhat 8, 3.1-redhat or something.

I reckon my soundchip isn't properly supported (its an SiS 7012 using the i810 audio driver) so would buying a new soundcard help matters?

Quake just isn't the same without sound...

Any help appreciated!

Man I got the same problem. Sometimes their is sound and sometimes their isn't. Don't know what to do. Have to reboot to get it to work.

In my case, either my sound works or Quake 3 works. I can't have both. I have to have to run quake with +set s_initsound 0 to get the damn thing to start. Runs fine otherwise. Half my games dont have sound either.
