I've been trying to get sound working in Unreal Torunament for a couple of days now.

I'm using the native Unreal Tournament version, not wine or something like that. I have sound in all other games and media applications that I have tried.

In older ubuntu versions it worked fine. I'm now using kubuntu 12.04, I have all the alsa-oss and oss-compat packages installed.

I have followed most of the advice out there, and it all seems to fall on padsp and aoss.

My problem, however, is that even when trying to use padsp or aoss, I can't get any sound at all.

(Note UT has two output modes: ALAudio and Generic(OSS), I have tried both).

Is there some configuration required to use padsp or aoss correctly?

I have ran it like padsp ./ut and aoss ./ut

If using the AL backend in UT I get (both aoss and padsp give this):
Bound to ALAudio.so
open /dev/dsp: Invalid argument
Audio initialization failed.

If using the OSS backend in UT I get (both aoss and padsp give this):
Bound to Audio.so
Failed to open audio device.
Audio initialization failed.

Note that so far, I have gotten absolutely no sound.

Thanks for any help!
