I have to enter the command ‘killall esd’ to get the sound working in Wolfenstein. :confused: The problem is that this kills all the sound in Ubuntu after I’ve finished playing the game.

I was wondering what’s the opposite of this command? How do I restart my sound?

Check that the service alsa is running.

It’s not as simple as that. Alsa is running because Wolfenstein has sound. The only way (that I know of) to bring back the sound in Ubuntu is by restarting X
