Hi all
I have upgraded my computer to 64 bit, and ditched Windows alltogether and installed SUSE 10.0
Nearly a breeze, a few minor problems I hope you can help me with
ALSA sound system doesn't seem to work properly - infact not at all, it doesn't pass Cedega sound test. I have run the NFORCE drivers from nvidia site with not much luck.
When I run Team Speak, everything sounds like chipmunks. Quake 4 does not give me any sound at all. I tried to force OSS for Quake 4, but get this instead
Quote:
------ OSS Sound Initialization ------
opened sound device '/dev/dsp'
ioctl SNDCTL_SYSINFO failed: Invalid argument
this ioctl is only available in OSS/Linux implementation. If you run OSS/Free, don't bother.
WARNING: ioctl SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED failed to get the requested frequency 44100, got 48000
close sound device
WARNING: sound subsystem disabled

That is Quake 4 demo Linux native.
Here is my dmesg, which I will filter with NFORCE, NVIDIA, nvidia, nvsound, and nvaudio:

I hope this is enough information for you to help point out what is wrong
The login desktop sound works fine, no problems there, and Quake 3 Arena (native) has sound fine also, which I assume is using OSS.
Once this is sorted, I will be completely converted - it is very tempting to pop in the Windows XP CD just to play Quake 4 and Battlefield 2
Specs:
SUSE 10.0 32-bit
Athlon 64 3700
1024MB 400MHz
256MB 7800GT (Which works fine
- note my previous posts with my Radeon 9800 :P)
Asus A8N-E with nForce 4 Ultra and AC'97 Audio chip.
If you need any more info, I can get it for you
Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to your responses
Viktor
