LinuxQuestions.org - UT2004 sound: pitch too high

I installed UT2004 on my linux system today and quickly noticed that the sound was a little off. For one thing, the sound of the manta jumping is a lot higher than it is on my XP system (which is on the same computer, btw). It's more like a high whistle combined with nails on a blackboard. Oddly enough, other sounds (like the sound when the cursor is moved over a button) were not noticeably affected.

The file 'UT2004/Sounds/ONSVehicleSounds-S.uax' (which I'm guessing contains the manta sounds) is the same on both systems, so that eliminates the most likely cause.

I have searched around and tried various fixes, but to no avail. I tried the fix of changing

Code:

AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem

Code:

AudioDevice=Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem

in my .ut2004/System/UT2004.ini file, but this only gave me the folowing error:

Code:

Can't find file for package 'Audio'

Can anyone help me out here? I'm running UT2004, linux patch 3355 on a gentoo system with a working ALSA configuration.

Sorry if I sound a little whiny here; it's late, I'm running out of ideas, and every new attempt at fixing the problem is promptly met with that horrible ear-piercing sound!
