Known problem with Q3 for which Joss has been created. You need to install Joss and Jackd and run Q3 with Joss. I believe Joss is in a Ubuntu repository, although not a default one. Jackd sure is.

Use the following small bash script to run quake:

#!/bin/bash
jackd -T --silent -d oss &
joss ~/quake3/quake3 "Q3 options.."

Don't run Quake as root and try to start Quake simply with joss /home/games/quake3/quake3, followed by any Q3 options you normally use.

It seems you already have Jackd running. If you only use Jackd for Q3 and if with the above you get no sound, then you would want to disable Jackd startup on system boot and start jackd yourself with 'jackd -T --silent -d oss &'.
