Sound doesn't work in Enemy Territory

**rabidgoblin** · 12-23-2004

Hey, I run Debian (sarge) with a 2.6.8 kernel and Enemy Territory works perfect execpt for the sound. When it loads up I get this:

------- sound initialization -------
------------------------------------
----- Sound Info -----
sound system is muted
1 stereo
32768 samples
16 samplebits
1 submission_chunk
48000 speed
0x48730000 dma buffer
No background file.
----------------------

and theres no sound. Sound works for everything else, just not ET. Does anyone know how i could fix this?

**Muser** · 12-23-2004

artsdsp -v -m et

**Muser** · 12-26-2004

Hello,

This thread has been really useful for me. But there is still one problem. I have to run that command as root every time I want to play ET. That's as good as running as root. Please suggest me a solution so that I can play ET + sound with a single icon-click.

I'm kinda panicy right now. After doing the above commands in Ubuntu[Dapper Drake], I no longer can become su. I tried restarting a couple times. I can't become su. It just says "Authentication Failed." I'm entering valid password and caps aren't on.

Is there any relation or is this some freak zombie system?

you should post a new topic about it, but i'll answer because i'm nice

in ubuntu you don't use su, you use sudo, like so:

Code:

sudo command

then enter your own password.

I used to be able to use SU. Sorry, I'm used to Fedora.
