I saw one other post about this on another board, with no solution. Anyone run across playing the game Unreal Tournament 99, the sound is poor and crackling and playing almost double the speed it should be? card is i810 audio (AC97) onboard, was perfect in 9.1, and sound everywhere else is fine in 10.0. Just this game, it uses OSS emulation VIA ALSA, if I use the actual OSS driver, the sound plays at normal speed, but its exteremely poor quality (tinny, crackling) Kernel is 2.6.4.

Thanks!

I'm in the same position, just put 10.0 official on.
I'm pretty sure it's because of the new 2.6.x kernel.

*bump*

Hello all!

I have the same problem. I'm running UT99 on Mandrake 10.0 Official on a 1.6Ghz AMD with a Geforce 4 Ti4200 and a Soundblaster Live! Value.

Graphics are fine (brilliant in fact) but sound plays at almost double speed. Once again the sound is fine elswhere in Mandrake 10.

I thought perhaps the audio files have not been unpacked properly (I had that problem with some maps) which could be fixed with a shell script? (like the maps problem was). However I can't find a solution anywhere.

I also have UT2k4 demo installed and sounds works fine. It seems to use the same sound settings as UT99, so I tried copying some files and changing the UnrealTournament.ini to match with UT2k4's. This didn't fix the problem.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Gav.

I switched to gentoo linux, after a fatal crash, but I believe the problem lyes in the kernel 2.6.3, 2.6.4 kernels, I used 2.6.6 on Gentoo without problems in UT99.

Oh well, just another reason for me to move up to Gentoo. Thanks for the tip.
