quake2 on ubuntu

[Justin Conover]

I'm not sure if this will correct your problem, but on my laptop no
matter what distro I'm using I have to do the following for et and
wolf:

or Enemy Territory the fix is like this:
echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

For Wolfenstein it should be like this.
echo "wolf.x86 0 0 direct" >
/proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss

I don't have quake2, but you might be able to try:

quake2.x86 or what ever the startup for quake2 is.
