IIRC Quake wants OSS and if you have only ALSA it won't go, so check
the snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss modules are going (lsmod).

Graeme,

    I checked my modules, if I'm not wrong, everything looks OK:

Those sure look ok. So move on... check if you have read/write permissions
to /dev/dsp. And see if the game works when run as root. Good luck.
