UT2004 sound is screwed up with my sound card

[Curlydave]

I had been using onboard audio for a while in Linux as my soundcard wouldn't work when onboard was enabled, and I used both in Windows so I could select which app would use headphones and which would use speakers. Recently I disabled onboard audio entirely and only use my soundcard, a Turtle Beach Catalina. Now Linux uses this as the primary sound card.

In Windows I have used this for a while with no issues, it's a great card. In Linux it plays sounds and music fine with no issues, but now my UT2k4 sounds are messed up; it's hard to describe, but it's almost as if everything but the low-end has been cut off entirely, and the sounds are all low-pitched and garbled. Not distorted really, but just wrong. This is from the initial loading screen through gameplay.

What's wrong, and why is it doing this? This is the only game I have installed in Linux currently. Help?

Hi,

I too have a catalina and had the same problem.

Just go into the settings and check the button for low audio quality (or something like that).

After I did that my sound worked fine. (after i checked that box it took a while for the game to respond, and at first I thought it was frozen, but eventually it came back and the sound worked well)

This might not be the perfect solution, but at least you will have sound for the time being.
