when i start Q3 (/dev/dsp) and eg. xmms (oss plugin=/dev/adsp) -> Q3 & xmms are play perfect.
when i start Q3 (/dev/dsp) and TS(/dev/adsp) -> Q3 plays, but TS is permamently MUTED (input/[output] option = disabled). WHY ???

/dev/adsp is OUTPUT ONLY. (get sick of telling people) ;-/

search to forums. but basically, link one onto the other device so games run on the output only one, leaving the bi-directional one for TS

But why can't quake use adsp !

This to me seems pretty strange.

let's ask IDsoftware :)

I had the exact same problem... I looked everywhere but could not fix it, my solution was to change to OSS instead of using ALSA... now I have /dev/dsp0 and /dev/dsp1 working perfectly (I use TS2 on dsp0 and quake on dsp1)

BTW: I have the same soundcard as you... so it's prolly the alsa driver for the ens1371 or something

[GNU]

dought it, i run alsa fine.

[Uranus]

Well... like I said... if u don't find another other solution, please try switching to OSS as it worked for me

I wrote a perfect piece on this. On how to link the devices in alsa. If you are too lazy to search and read: be my guest and try to find it out yourself :)
