I've just got a new motherboard and am trying to get alsa to work

I have the latest alsa, alsa-lib, alsa-utils etc.

I can get alsa to work and oss to work but mmap won't work on quake3.

I have tried the "fix" people have been posting

Code: Select all

      echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
      echo "quake3.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss

If I do that the sound is ok in menu etc but as soon as u load a map it crashes and only way to get out is ctrl+backspace

. I have the mmap option in my /etc/modules.d/alsa also but still no luck

also if I try "artsdsp -w ./quake3.x86" the sound is stupidly choppy and the game runs slow

This may be a wild stab in the dark, but I had the same mmap problem (same sound card) in Enemy Territory (which uses basically the same engine) and used that sound fix, but I didn't need the second line. Have you tried omitting that line? If that doesn't work, then I think the problem may not be with sound if it crashes on map load.

fixed in gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.3-gentoo-r2)

Will have to try a kernel update I guess.

Current one is a little out of date

Nice
