#2

its strange I kinda have the same problem
when running the SDL version sometimes the sound doesn’t work but when running the GLX executable I always have sound

#3

Does entering SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd in console before running Nexuiz help before you run the SDL version?

#4

These posts were long ago and got no solutions. Now with latest NEXUIZ 2.5 also I’m having the same problem. The posted error in #1 shows in sdl version & sound is also absent in glx version. Changing sdl audio driver didn’t help. As SuseForum now got many active members, I hope that I may get solution.
