Hi Sharrea. I had this same problem. I installed the full (Loki purchase) version of Q3 and got the same sound error you did. I had to downloand a point release from the ID Software web site. This fixed it. To see if it is a problem with your sound drivers, you can start the game with no sound, like this: quake3 +set s_initsound 0 If it does run with no sound - then it is a sound driver issue.

I checked out that website and I'm now downloading the point release - hopefully that'll fix it. Jeez playing Q3A without sound... can't hear the buggers coming!

That point release did fix my lack of sound, it should work with yours as well. Jeez playing Q3A without sound... can't hear the buggers coming!

[newbie] Quake3A and SBLive! 5.1
Hardware: CPU = AMD Athlon 1GHz MB = Soltek SL-75KAV RAM = 1024 MB VIDEO = GeForce2 64MB GTS Pro SOUND = SB Live! 5.1 A few months back I was dual booting with RedHat 7.3 and could play Quake III Arena no problem there but trying to play it in Mandrake Cooker (up to 9.0) always resulted in this error message (following other initializations) when starting the game from a terminal: --- sound initialization --- Received signal 11, exiting... I've since removed RH and gone back to MDK 8.1 (couldn't keep up with downloads of Cooker with slow internet connection) and I still get the same error message. The README file states Please note that at the time of this writing, PCI based sound cards such as the SoundBlaster Live and Diamond Monster MX series were not supported. But I can't understand why it worked in RH on the same hardware but not in MDK. It makes no difference whether I try to start the game as root or user. Is there anyone here with an SB Live! soundcard that can play Q3A in MDK? If so, perhaps you may know what I'm doing wrong? TIA Sharrea PS. Nvidia drivers are installed and 3D works fine (eg. Tuxracer). I only have the demo version of Quake III Arena. -- The box said Requires Windows 95 or better so I installed Linux. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
