ET: sound in KDE but not in game

[GreatBunzinni]

I just installed Enemy Territory and it seems that, altough there is sound in KDE, the game isn't able to play sounds.

Has anyone experienced this bug? If so, what's the fix?

It's not so much a bug as a clash between the KDE sound system and the system that ET uses.

If you do this:

> killall artsd
> et

This will kill the sounds in KDE, but allow you to hear ET sounnds.

I just turn the entire KDE sound system off in KControl, which achieves roughly the same thing.

How about the sound drivers? May be they are cause the problem. This just an idea. Cheers, Emil

I'm having the same problem and
> killall artsd
> et
doesn't solve my problem
on the game startup i get the following mesage on the sound initialization:

------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Input/output error
Could not mmap /dev/dsp
------------------------------------
Sound memory manager started
Sys_LoadDll(/home/italoivo/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so)...
Sys_LoadDll(/home/italoivo/.etwolf/etmain/ui.mp.i386.so) failed:

Sys_LoadDll(ui) found **vmMain** at 0xade47f40

Anyone has any idea how to solve this problem?
