did you patch ot with the 1.8-1.9 patch or the full patch. I mistakenly did it with the full patch and crashed the game. Check that. Hope it helps

try voice_dsound 0

I think it has something to do with the voice comms using direct sound which overrides the main game sound :/

What soundcard do you have?

Is it half-duplex, full duplex?

do you know if under windows you can play more than 2 (wav) sounds at once?

when i upgraded from quake3 v1.0 to v1.3 i lost my sound because i didnt have the correct drivers for my soundcard installed. up until then these drivers had worked with no problems.
i could only find win95 and win98se drivers and i had win98 and only the win95 drivers would run properly. eventually upgraded to win98se then used them drivers.

There has been so many problems with the new patch that VALVE started a forum on their site. The patch also caused problems with many mods.
Planethalflife.com has more details. Hopefully a new patch will fix everything.
