Sound in ET> /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

[charel]

Hello,

to have Sound in Enemy Territory, i have to open a root console, and type in:

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

and it works fine. (it was the same for SuSe) Sound in KDE/Gnome is working fine, but for Et I need these commands.

But I have no idea what it means. Can someone explain me what these commands are doing exactly?

A second question about the Soundmixer. I want to use Teamspeak. Which Soundmixer is the right one to use?

thank for any help

basically you are "forcing" the program to direct the sound output to oss sound module and not alsa. i have to use that command to get quake1 to work.

Thank you! :smile:

I dont like using commands whithout understanding what it means.

didn't work for me, i think i need alsa and not oss (had to set this in wine for half-life 2 also)

and how do you undo these commands? :P

nm worked like a charm :D

is there a way to automate this at startup? I have to do it everytime a startup my pc and I have to do it otherwise my sound doesn't work in my 32 bit applications...

edit: its not true. It was just rhytmbox using my sound device
