I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron with a newly installed Wine 1.0.0. When I go into the Audio tab in winecfg and "test sound", it always comes up with a message saying "Audio test failed!" The other thing is that when I run GTA: San Andreas, it comes up with a message saying that it couldn't find an audio card so it doesn't run. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? By the way, my sound card is a reasonably new Sound Blaster 5.1 which functions fine and I haven't messed around with drivers for it because it's worked fine.

I wonder if this is the case on Ubuntu? Anyway, disabling it is worth a try.

Throw into this configuration differences - who knows why it works for some and doesn't work for others. However if everything works without pulseaudio then it's easy to see what the problem is.

Also be verry aware pasuspender does not automatically start dmix if card is missing on board mixer. This also causes people to say neither work. When it a issue that should be fixed in pulseaudio because they don't want to be running on top of dmix.
thanks for all your help. if i disable pulseaudio, will it disable the sound in ubuntu outside wine?
