For some reason everytime i start Doom 3 the sound is horrible and even with all the settings low i get a poor fps.Tested in Windows and it worked fine.
Specs:
1.66 ghz intel core solo processor
1 gig of ram
128mb gfx card
80gb hard drive

try adding

+set s_driver oss

after whatever the command is to start doom 3 in terminal, or paste it after it in the launcher command box.

Try starting Doom3 with nice -n19 *doom3-executable*.That should fix the choppy sound plus the low fps.

BTW:What 3D-Card are you using?Nvidia or Ati?

are your sure that your gfx card can actually HANDLE doom 3? I would think that unless that card uses an ati/nvidia chipset, it is probley not the best gfx card for gaming...

Although 64 MB is the minimum, the Intel drivers have to support 3D-Accelaration under Linux.

You can't play Doom 3 under Linux with Intel video card. I have Intel GMA 900 (i915). Even in Windows I got around 20 fps with the latest drivers.
