What sound system is it trying to use? (Go to the "System" menu I believe). Try swapping around the sound system and restarting the game. The default setting IIRC is "Best", but you can change it to "OSS" or "ALSA".

You mentioned you have an AC97 sound card? I've had issues with games by Id Software and these cards... I know I started a thread on it a while back...ah! Here it is:

Perhaps that will help.
