Games :: DSL Game Forum

Quake2 has no sound. The error message is:

------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Input/output error
SNDDMA_Init: Could not mmap /dev/dsp.

Tried changing /dev/dsp to dsp0 - dsp4, snd in config.cfg but no change... The sound is OK in other applications, I'm using alsadebs.dsl.

Q2 is still great but it needs sound, please help.

So where do I find the forums about setting up q2 if not in the games section?

And where is this base dir found. I found where the program was located but I was assuming that there was a folder elsewhere to place the pak0.pak.

Clarify please?
