lo all,

I'm having difficulty trying to get sound in QuakeWorld, please
could someone take a look at the errors I get and help! It's handicap
enough to have a ping of 300, but with no sound it's unplayable.

I start up QuakeWorld with the parameters: -dsound -dinput
(so I start it with c:\quake\qwcl.exe -dsound -dinput), but as QW is
initialising, I get the following errors:

DirectSound create failed
DirectSound failed to init
waveOutOpen failed
wave sound failed to init
video mode 320x200 initialized
cdaudio_init: MCI_open failed
DirectInput initialized

And then QuakeWorld loads up as normal. When I connect to a
server (any server, including localhost) I get no sound whatsoever.
In other words I can't hear it when someone picks up a quad or indeed
when someone fires something at me.... please help.
