While in-game, open the console by pressing the tilde key (near ESC and looks like this: ~) on your keyboard. Type "/condump error.txt" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. This will output the contents of the console to a text file in your Quake III Arena\baseq3 or Quake III Arena\[MODFolder] directory. Open up the file and paste the contents of the text in this thread. If an error occured within the game, it should be indicated that text and we will be better able to troubleshoot your problem.

Do you have the retail version of the game, as in did you purchase it and you did not download the game illegally? If so try the following:
    - Make sure you have the latest sound card drivers from the manufacturers's website.
    - Turn the hardware acceleration for your sound card to Basic.
      For Windows XP
      1) Click the Start button > Settings > Control Panel.
      2) Double-click the Sounds and Audio Devices icon.
      3) Click the Volume tab.
      4) Under Speaker settings, click the Advanced button.
      5) Click the Performance tab. 6) Reduce the Hardware acceleration to Basic, the 2nd notch from the left.
      7) Click Apply and then OK 2 times. Run the game now. Don't forget to turn the acceleration back up to restore the high-end features for your sound card when using other applications.

If the game installed from the CD correctly, then the files are OK.

I believe the installer verifies all the files after it copies them.

Anyway point is, if you buy the game second hand there is a chance your CD-Key will still be in use by the person who sold the game. But this will manifest itself with a clear error message when you try to connect to an internet game, it will not cause lack of sound or such other problems.

A "thread" refers to a topic containing a string of message posts on a forum. When I said "Open up the file and paste the contents of the text in this thread" it means post here, under this topic.

It's a cvar, a game variable. Pull down the console (~) and type: /s_volume 1 [Enter]

don't use /s_volume 1
use /s_volume 0.8

It's better for your speakers, and the difference isn't very big in volume anyway.

hi,
just to be on the safe side. do u get sound in windows?
if u do, then something is probably wrong in q3.
This solution seem to work a lot of times:

uninstall, then reinstall ;)

sorry, but I really dunno why u havent got sound, but as u say u get an error message (as I understood it), there might be something more crucially wrong than just the volume set at 0.

Try and make a backup of your current .cfg file. Just copy it to a safe place, then delete the .cfg file in your Quake III Arena/baseq3 folder. Load up q3 again and see if that helps, if not try my first solution.
You will find it here:
Quake III Arena/baseq3/q3config.cfg

Good luck.
