quake 4 sound..

[darknightuk]

Hi i've installed quake4 at first i got a seg fault but fixed this by installing libsdl2.1debian-oss but i get no sound so i added +set s_driver oss to the startup script but seems to do nothing but if i start from console with quake4 +set s_driver oss i get sound?

#!/bin/sh
# Needed to make symlinks/shortcuts work.
# the binaries must run with correct working directory
cd "/usr/local/games/quake4"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
./quake4.x86 +set s_driver oss $*
exit $?

EDIT:-just noticed if i drag the icon off the menu i get sound but not if i launch the icon from the menu WTF:mad:

have you tried running it in the terminal as root. linux can be funny some times and it always helps to try that.

It could be about something that your user doesn't have sound rights (isn't placed in the sound group), so try it in root..

ya that is what i was thinking. good to know someone else agrees with me
