------- Additional Comments From calpatersonpublic@gmail.com 2006-07-01 08:53 ------- I can confirm this bug. I have kernel: Linux tybalt 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jan 4 23:51:50 GMT 2006 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
So it is still present in kernel 2.6.14. When launching the games with alsa enabled, my X.org hangs at the title/menu screen.
I cannot confirm whether it is possible to use OSS as a workaround (I am currently doing some recompiling to test this - I'll post back later).
Using winecfg to disable sound (or use EsounD, but I take a large performance hit - fps goes from 100-the max possible, to 4-5) is a workaround.
This bug seems to be present on all Goldsrc (HL1 based engine) games, and also CS:CZ. Will return to verify whether it is present on Source games.
