Humm, your sound is maybe blocked by another application. If you use
Gnome or Kde, there is a sound daemon that prevents you to open the
sound device.
If this is the case, you must turn off the sound daemon while you are
playing :
- - esdctl standby for Gnome (package esound-client),
- - something similar for ARTS/Kde (artsctl standby ???).
Then you should hear the sound with Quake 3.
You can test if you have a sound daemon with : "ps aux | grep esd" or
"ps aux | grep arts"....
Kind regard
