I wanted to play a game of Quake3 against someone, and have Skype or Teamspeak open at the same time, for obvious reasons. Somehow, it reported the sound device being in use: “device or resource busy”. This doesn’t make any sense, because my card can do hardware mixing, and also because all other games work fine with Skype or Teamspeak active.
I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but this is how it can be fixed:
# echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss # echo "quake3.x86 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss # echo "quake3-smp.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
Happy fragging 🙂
Who won?
First game in the afternoon, he did, significantly, with 25-16 or something. Later in the evening, in my favorite map, Q3DM17, I won, with 25-0 :). And even later, in a close-quaters map, which is his strong point, he won, 25-24. Hunting for that last kill was quite intense, for both of us…
Who was “he”?
“He” goes by the nick Teslareaper. I met him at last years Blender conference.
Cool. 🙂 Can you show me some of his Blender stuff?
