i know its ne heck of an output but nothing is like working for me ..
need some help with it !
thanks in advance
(btw im using Ubuntu Hoary)

Seems like /dev/adsp is not your sound device. Figure out where it is actually configured and change the config to reflect it.

hi Daejavu

Did you get your sound working? I have the same problem and my output is:

------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Input/output error
Could not mmap /dev/dsp

OK got it fixed

When I try to play Enemy Territory or other games based on the Quake 3 engine, I get an "/dev/dsp: Input/output error Could not mmap /dev/dsp" message

Read the OssEmulation documentation about setting the parameters for OSS via the /proc interface.

For some people trying to play ET, the following works:



echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
You will generally need to add write permissions even for the root user in order to echo anything to /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss. Also remember your new settings will not be preserved following a reboot.

::which changes the playback part of OSS (indicated by the "p" in "pcm0p").

You may also need to try this:

echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
::which disables capture (meaning microphone input? PCM input?):

This is not enough for some driver modules such as cs46xx for which you need to enable mmap explicitly via a module option. See the relevant AlsaDrivers pages for more info on your driver modules.

On the M-Audio Revolution 7.1 with enemy-territory, all the above does is change the error message to: Could not set /dev/dsp to stereo=2.

An easy-fix workaround is using esd 0.2.35 or above as an intermediate. just type

esddsp --mmap mygame
Where mygame is the name of the game, and it will probably run. You should have esd (esound) installed (and esd active) of course.

Here is a simple script (I believe I got it from the no_sound_in_Quake, modified to my needs) that I run whenever I turn my box on so as to play ET:

#!/bin/sh

#Make sure that the path to your installation is correct!
cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory

if ! grep "et.x86" /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss >/dev/null; then
if [ "`whoami`" != "root" ]; then
echo "You have to be root to setup the alsa's oss emulation first."
exit 1
fi
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "et.x86 0 0 disable" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss
echo "alsa's oss emulation setup, re-run as normal user."
exit 0
fi
if [ "`whoami`" = "root" ]; then
echo "Must run as normal user."
exit 1
fi

if pgrep artsd >/dev/null || pgrep esd >/dev/null; then
killall artsd >/dev/null 2>&1
killall esd >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 1

Just copy it using a text editor, name it et start up script, put it in your ~/.etmain dir and open up a terminal and type,
1) as root: # sh /home/"your_user_name"/.etwolf/et\ start\ up\ script
2) exit then as normal user : $ sh .etwolf/et\ start\ up\ script

wow thanks for that - how do you make it run automatically when you turn your box on?
