ET Sounds

[Zodiac]

I have to keep doing the command:

killall esd; et; esd

In order to get sound in ET on my IBM T40 Laptop...

What's the dilly?

Does everyone not know or does my question not make sense?

Well, probably the latter, don't know about everyone else, but, What is ET?

Enemy Territory :(

I follow the wiki and it works great, but my sound doesn't work until I run the terminal and use:

"killall esd; et; esd"

Then is works... how can I make my sound work all the time??

My sound comes out fine when I play ET... are you stopping all the programs that may be using esd before you start up the game (media players, browsers w/flash animations)? That way you shouldn't have to kill esd.

About playing multiple sounds (i.e. music and the game sounds), I've never been able to do that. I think.

How can I do that easily?

Or maybe I can just use SMEG to make "killall esd; et; esd" the default when opening ET...

[Zodiac]

bump.

Just goto system->preferences->sound and uncheck "enable sound server start up" before you play ET, then enable it after you are done

I just leave mine disabled all the time as I careless about the sounds in ubuntu...

So what exactly will that do??
