Re: No sound in Quake2 [solved]

Please try to install alsa-oss and start quake with an aoss prefix, e.g. aoss quake2

It gives BAD sound. Almost random noise and log:

Re: No sound in Quake2 [solved]

Ok I found myself:
/opt/quake2/sdlquake2
Command gives quake2 with sound.

Re: No sound in Quake2 [solved]

More problems after some time.

bash-3.2$ /opt/quake2/sdlquake2 
Quake 2 -- Version 3.21+r0.16
using /home/vytautas/.quake2/baseq2/ for writing
couldn't exec default.cfg
execing config.cfg
Console initialized.

------- sound initialization -------
sound sampling rate: 22050
------------------------------------
------- Loading ref_sdlgl.so -------
LoadLibrary("ref_sdlgl.so") failed: No such file or directory
------- Loading ref_softx.so -------
LoadLibrary("ref_softx.so") failed: No such file or directory
Refresh failed
recursive shutdown
Error: Couldn't fall back to software refresh!
bash-3.2$

But I have those files in /opt/quake2/ just program do not "see" them somehow.

Re: No sound in Quake2 [solved]

First of all, see qudos, kmquake2 and quake2-egl in AUR. Edit: Here's backups of the pkgbuilds.

Secondly, state *which* of the zillions of soundcard variations you have. I have mislaid my psychic helmet

Edit:  Added egl.

Re: No sound in Quake2 [solved]

I just found one more interesting solution to #5:
Use:
cd /opt/quake2
./sdlquake2
Instead of:
/opt/quake2/sdlquake2
