I just copied the id1 folder from my Quake cd and checked to make sure nothing was missing. The files are also all lower case. I'm using the binary since I couldn't find the client source; maybe I missed it.

Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

Maybe it can be solved with adding -heapsize 65536 to the command line. If not hopefully someone else can help because I don't have a Linux machine currently hence ProQuake for Linux is stuck way behind Windows and OSX.

re: Source

I'm on a terrible internet connection at the moment but if the Linux client source isn't there, I will fix the next chance I get.

Still getting the same error with -heapsize 65536.

There's source for the linux dedicated server, I'm not sure how different it is from the client.

**=peg=** · 10-16-2009, 12:04 PM

try -mem 32 or -mem 64 instead of -heapsize..

-mem should give the same result as -heapsize but in my experience some clients are more picky then others..

also.. try -zone 4096 just to be safe..

**Dreadlorde** · 10-18-2009, 09:40 AM

Ok, thanks =peg= I got it to run now. But I don't have any sound. /dev/dsp is

Code:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 3 2009-10-18 11:30 /dev/dsp

Do I need to do anything else?

**Spirit** · 10-19-2009, 09:10 AM

It would work flawless out of the box if you used the Open Sound System. For ALSA search the web for "Could not mmap /dev/dsp" and you will find ideas. I switched to OSSv4 because of things like this and I am not looking back, heh.

I google that later, thanks.

I thought about switching to OSSv4, but I don't think my sound card has a driver for OSSv4.

So your user must be in the audio group. Run as root:

gpasswd -a yourusername audio

You need to re-login, to have that change take effect. Run "groups" as your normal user, and check that it shows "audio".

Onto the second point - /dev/dsp is *not* ALSA. ALSA can emulate OSS's /dev/dsp, but it messes up dmix. OSS is very nearly dead, so apps should be using ALSA as the primary sound output method. See e.g. the darkplaces code.

FUD alert... That linked post is more than 2 years old. OSS (v4) is better than ever and kicks ALSA's ugly butt especially if you are a Quake player. Low latency, crisp mixing etc.

**dfsp_spirit** · 01-03-2010, 04:53 AM

You should try what Brebs suggested first.

I didn't have to mess with that ugly stuff (OSS and dmix emulation) in a while but there once was something called aoss that could help in your situation. I used it to play q3a under linux ages ago. To use it, you simply install it from your distro's repo and start quake like this if I'm not mistaken:

Code:

aoss ./quake_x11

It gave me shoppy sound and bad performance quite often though. Ended up using the ioquake3 binary, problem solved. So maybe the best suggestion is to use another q1 client.

I'm bored, so let's continue this

You win, *when* the likes of Ubuntu and Fedora (the top 2 distros) include OSS (v4) in their default configuration.

Until then, it just leaves the general Linux user scratching his head, wondering why every solution offered seems painful and difficult.

They will eventually wonder why this particular engine doesn't just include an ALSA output plugin.

None of my audio players and games have a problem with low-latency ALSA audio. What's your example?

"Crisp mixing" is achievable with converter "samplerate_best" included in ~/.asoundrc - yes, I will concede, the syntax of ~/.asoundrc looks like it was designed by Lucifer

OSS may be improving over time, but then of course, so is ALSA - version history.

I'm deliberately avoiding mention of pulseaudio, because that deserves a FUD thread of its very own

Yeah, the examples look like the file was encrypted or something.

**Dreadlorde** · 01-12-2010, 06:48 PM

PulseAudio sucks. Even more than alsa.

**dfsp_spirit** · 01-12-2010, 07:20 PM

PulseAudio? Never even heard of that.
