You can't cat a wav file to /dev/audio, only an au file wav is in the wrong format. The problem with quake is that you only have your sound card configured for 8bit and quake is doing 16 bit sound hence the static. I expect you have a ``soundblaster compatible'' that is not soundblaster 16 compatible. -- Edward Betts http://www.hairnet.demon.co.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
