Isn't there any useful error messages if you start these games from a
terminal?
You might want to try ioquake3, this is the free version build from id
software's GPL code. Among other things are these sound related
features:
* OpenAL is now used for sound. Surround sound supported.
* SDL being used for input, OpenGL context management, and sound.
If you can get sound in SDL apps now, I would guess it would work with ioquake3
too.
