Hi fellow Archers,
I am running Arch64 and managed to install ET. It works fine except the audio. I installed the et-sdl-package and its dependencies.
et-sdl-sound
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-sdl
When I run ET the console outputs:
------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
Could not open /dev/dsp
------------------------------------
I have found multiple posts on this topic, but I couldn't make it work... could someone please help.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend just downloading the et-sdl-sound script (it's a single file so you don't really need pacman's help to manage it) and putting it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere under $HOME. You will have to add '!strip' to the options array in enemy-territory's PKGBUILD, otherwise the script will not work (it says 'unrecognized ET binary' or something).
It seems the AUR package for et-sdl-sound gained some support for x86_64 since I last looked at it, but according to the comments (and the fact that it's flagged out-of-date), it has all kinds of new problems.
(Don't forget lib32 packages for pulseaudio in case you use that.)

I'm not using pulseaudio and it might be hardware specific but something for you to look into.
I load the snd-pcm-oss and snd-seq-oss modules:
cat /etc/modules-load.d/snd-oss.conf
snd-pcm-oss
snd-seq-ossYou'll also need the alsa-oss and lib32-alsa-oss packages installed.
Hope that helps.

Hi guys,
thanks for the suggestions. I tried it with pulse audio and the lib32-packages and still no sound. Then I removed pulse audio stuff again since I wasn't using it earlier.
Installed the alsa-oss/lib32-alsa-oss packages. Loaded the oss modules. They are being shown by lsmod and still no audio.
No luck for me I guess... thank you guys anyways!
