Had a look at the FAQ on the aRts site. They suggest starting the app with: artsdsp app-name Tried that and it works a little better in that quake just says: "your soundcard can't do that" then starts up without sound. That means I don't have to stop the aRts server first and can listen to music while quake runs, but still no sound from q3 itself. The site states that any app that fails to work with that syntax should be seen as a bug in aRts, not in the app, so I guess that's how I have to see it. The artsdsp thing is worth keeping in mind though. cheers Brian
