This works for me, and I have SIS onboard sound in a Biostarbox. You do not mention which soundcard you have...
I found the answer was the way the ESD worked...
so in a terminal session try
[killall -9 esd]
and then
[sudo sh -c 'echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss']

....I do not use the killall statement any more as I have re configed ESD as follows:-
how to re configure esd to release to other applications, change the esd.conf file (make a backup first..)
located at /etc/esound to read thus:-

[esd]
auto_spawn=0
spawn_wait_ms=100
default_options= -terminate -nobeeps -as 2

..******....but I still have to type this in Terminal to get it to produce sound....*******

[sudo sh -c 'echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss']
please note the single and double quotes !!! to get sudo to interpret the command correctly.
or try
[esddsp --mmap et]
(This did nothing for me..but if you still have problems, like me, you will try anything)

As for PUNKBUSTER, I have it DISABLED as it was not right a month or so ago, and screwed the game , I may try it again soon.
Good Luck
