solution of the Enemy Territory sound problem

This is how it works to me:

1) load modules  <i>snd-pcm-oss</i>, <i>snd-mixer-oss</i> and <i>snd-emu10k1</i>:

modprobe module_name

and you should also add them to the MODULES field in <i>/etc/rc.conf</i>, but you don't have to (if you want to load them every time you want to play ET    ) .

2) and then

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

and

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

everything, of course, as root.

Good luck, and don't play more than 23 hours a day - you also need to sleep, eat a go to toilet.

Thanks, that worked but I have a question, what does the echo lines do?

Re: solution of the Enemy Territory sound problem

Just out of curiosity: What problem does that solve? I never had any sound related problems in et.

Re: solution of the Enemy Territory sound problem

It more or less tells the system that et.x86 doesn't need full duplex access to the soundcard, and can co-exist with other processes with the same need (TS for example).

I imagine dmix handles this now a days.
