GETTING SOUND WORKING - NOT SURE WHICH ONE OF THESE FIXED IT - ALL MY NOTES HERE
JUST TRY THE LATER ENGINE padsp COMMAND LISTED BELOW FIRST BEFORE YOU DO ALL THIS :-)
sudo echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386

You have to install the latest PulseAudio 11.1-7.6
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pulseaudio/pulseaudio_11.1-1ubuntu7.6_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i pulseaudio_11.1-1ubuntu7.6_amd64.deb
Reboot your computer...
sudo reboot
START FROM HERE?
Download and unpack the newer game engine...
wget https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/download/1.5.0/dhewm3_1.5.0_Linux_amd64.tar.gz tar -xzvf dhewm3_1.5.0_Linux_amd64.tar.gz sudo cp -v dhewm3/* /usr/share/games/doom3/
You have to run the pulaseaudio DSP wrapper BEFORE the doom3 ported game, and tell it the path to the files...
padsp ./dhewm3 +set fs_basepath /usr/share/games/doom3/
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/padsp.1.html
Ports

Doom Reborn
Doom Reborn - Doom Reborn is a total conversion of the original Doom Series. Our goal is to recreate the original Doom & Doom 2 in the idTech4 engine with new textures and new models of the original weapons and monsters with the maps redone and retextured. We also want to bring back the orignal doom music along with the sounds remade in a higher quality.
