I just installed doom 3, It all goes fine but there is no sound,It just gives me the error 'cant load sound' thats it,Im not realy a gamer but i liked the idear of haveing ago i might enjoy it.

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".

Is there a way of changing the sound in the terminal?The sound device im useing is nForce2 ac97(MCP).I just got this error when i shut down doom,

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:
