Hey, there

   I am trying to install a quake 2 version 3.20 on my redhat 9.0. 
With the instructions of Linux Quake HowTo: Quake 2,  everything seems
doing well.  But when I type in: ./quake2 +set vid_ref softx, it quits
after giving me:

------- sound initialization -------
Cmd_AddCommand: play already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: stopsound already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: soundlist already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: soundinfo already defined
/dev/dsp: Bad address
Could not reset /dev/dsp
XIO:  fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server ":0.0"
      after 50 requests (50 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

It seems like a soundcard problem, but actually my soundcard works and
could play music.  That looks really weird.  By the way, there is no
problem if I run it as a dedicated server and I also tested my machine
with 3.14 demo(no sound) and it ran well.

Any idea?
