Wolfenstein on Ubuntu 12.04

A lot of Ubuntu users can't get the old classic Wolfenstein ET to work with sound, but I have good news - I know a fix that works every time.

First of all we need to go fetch the file we need, run this command in the terminal:

wget -q -O - http://nullkey.kapsi.fi/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.gz | gzip -d > et-sdl-sound && chmod a+x et-sdl-sound

then we need to edit the file from the old alsa sound system to our new pulse sound system:

sudo gedit /home/yourusername/et-sdl-sound

Go to line 40 and the change the line from this:

SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa"

to this:

SDL_AUDIODRIVER="pulse"

save the file and close and then you need to make a symbol link, so you can play the game:

/home/yourusername//et-sdl-sound

I hope it works for you, enjoy.

OBS: you will need the following 32-libs if you use the 64-bit version of ubuntu

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
