3d Games In Linux

OK I got the 3D in games to work but now I want to get the sound in sync, it seems to come in about a second too late. I'm running suse 9.2 pro. I was amazed when I heard that people were playing games like unreal 2004 on wine, I thought it would be more for simple things, not the latest games, well thanks if anyone out there can help.

What game or games are you trying to play that have this problem?

Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004 do not need to be run with WINE, they have native Linux versions right on the retail CD. Most people who run modern games use Cedega, not WINE. The key differences are that WINE is free (no cost and open source), and Cedega is not (pay service, closed source). Cedega is focused only on playing games, whereas WINE tries to reproduce general MS Windows functionality for applications.

In responce to what games have the sound problem.
All the 3D games that come with suse 9.2. the ones that I've tested are tux racer and circus linux but I think all the others do it too. Maybe it's the sound card I have. The driver that suse 9.2 put for the sound card is creative sound blaster audio pci64v, audio pci128.

I just got a 6 month subscription to Cedaga.

I have no experience with it, so hopefully I did the right thing... hehehe

Well, the minimum subscription (unless they've changed it) is 3 months, $15 all together. Basically you get access to their newest version for however long you subscribe. Generally they release a new version every 3 months or so (I think), so you've probably got 2 versions for you money. I personally would have downloaded the demo first however since Cedega doesn't work on some hardware setups in my experience.
