Fake sounds from everywhere

[Panther]

Old thread and no bug report in bugtracker seen... so, did anyone actually figure out how to fix the problem?

With 2.4 and the latest hotfix I'm still having the same problems as the OP. I've tried with both SB Audigy and ESI Juli@ - on Windows. Couldn't get it to run on Linux (some weird permission denied errors) so can't say if it works there.

Actually if you look at the date thats almost two years ago. Either its something new or the detection of our sound card does not work right. Try nexuiz.exe and nexuiz-sdl.exe often one of both works better. Also try to play around with the sound testings in 'settings/misc' especially the channels and frequency. For example the 5.1 sound in my desktop computer is broken for ALL games when i try to use 5.1 sound.. the 'back' channel is just silent. Maybe its something similar for you that corrupts the sound mixing..

Naturally, I have tested everything possible: SDL exe, different channel setups (in reality I have stereo), the -sndstereo parameter, different sampling rates... none of which worked.

I did notice it was a two-year-old thread and hearing the same problems as described I was even wondering if it's a "well known" bug as no conclusion was made in the thread

Guess I'll have to try the Linux version if it has the same problems. Anyone know what the mysterious "permission denied" error on Linux Nexuiz startup is? (file/device/bash permissions are ok, it's not that.)

Edit:
My relevant system configuration: Windows XP Pro SP2, Soundblaster Audigy ES (not SE), ESI Juli@. The Linux is newest Xubuntu.

I have both soundcards hooked up - is Nexuiz compatible with this in Windows? I've tried both cards as default device, but it didn't help.
