nobody really does anything.
I just installed Enemy Territory for the first time in a couple of years, since moving to Arch Linux and 64-bit. I have also left behind my old SB Live. Any of these three points might be the cause for not getting sound in ET (although Arch should not be it).
I get “sound system is muted” when starting ET, none of the dreaded “device or resource busy which can be fixed by running the famous lines as root.
I managed to solve my issue by installing this package (in AUR as et-sdl-sound), and running et as “enemy-territory.sdl” rather than just “enemy-territory”. This method was painless and gets a nice recommendation from me.
