quake3 and sound

[jgrimard]

I just installed and compiled the nvidia kernel and glx for my geforce2mx. I tried running quake3 but it crashes. I took a a look at where it crashes and it gets as far as sound initialization. My soundcard is a tb santa cruz and it plays mp3's and cds all the time. Is there any way to test either item to see where my problem lies?

I installed Unreal Tournament and the video and sound were working perfectly. The graphics were a little slow and the colors a little washed out but it was running fine. I am looking for updates to quake3 now.

You can try starting Quake3 with +s_initsound 0 which should start up Qauke without starting up the sound subsystem. If you still crash then the problem is most likely not your soundcard.
