When playing "/usr/share/sounds/gnobots2/yahoo.wav" I get the error "Couldn't set to mono" but sound can still be heard. Quake3 locks up the system. here is the error when I ran "quake3 &> out" from the command line. Q3 1.11 linux-i386 Nov 24 1999 ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /root/.q3a/baseq3 quake3/baseq3 ---------------------- Running in restricted demo mode. ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /root/.q3a/demoq3 quake3/demoq3 ---------------------- ----- CL_Shutdown ----- ----------------------- ----- CL_Shutdown ----- ----------------------- Error: Couldn't load default.cfg
What version of sox?
sox version= sox-12.16-11
In any case, that's just an informational message. The sound card doesn't support mono output. Quake locking the system sounds like a quake problem. You can try forcing the sound to 16bit stereo.
