After installing Kubunt 6.10, i attempted to install UT2004

when starting i had no sound, and looking at the terminal, i saw this message

open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy

The default OpenAL Installation isnt compiled with Artsd support (the sound daemon for KDE)

Heres how to fix the error

download The Latest Source Code (http://www.openal.org/openal_webstf/downloads/openal-0.0.8.tar.gz) from OpenAL's Website

Extract the tar
tar xvf openal-0.0.8.tar.gz

Go into the directory
cd openal-0.0.8

Configure with our needed flags, then compile
./configure --enable-arts --enable-alsa
make
sudo make install

After compiling, we need to edit our openalrc

User your favorite text editor (vim in my case)
vim ~/.openalrc

Now paste this into the file
(define devices '(native arts))

Save the file. and your good to go!

you should now have sound working in UT2004!

To anyone without sound in UT2004, in edgy all I had to do was install this package:
libopenalpp-cvs1
It's available in the repo's
