We have a fairly stock Debian/testing system. Layered over this is the 0.9.0beta6 ALSA packages (driver,lib,utils) and Quake3 Arena. We also have a via686a sound card built on an Aopen-63k-pro motherboard.
The sound for all applications (xmms, kscd, realplay, etc.) works as expected except for Quake3. I have read about the problems with Quake in this newsgroup, but I would like to ask again for current knowledge. We receive the message that it cannot find the /dev/dsp device. This is strange because all the required modules are loaded and seem to be working as they should. Does anyone know what can be done to correct this problem? I have attached the relevant configuration files. Also, is 0.9.0beta6 more current than 0.5.11 ? # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line.
