I have checked the db before posting and I think I have tried everything listed there. Using Fedora 11, wine 1.1.20 (newest in their repository except .23). All sound works - including in Vent until it crashes. Vent starts up, I can connect to a server, I hear the connection sounds, and then I get a 'had an error, shutting down' box and it crashes. Running from terminal I get: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory Which turns to be the same error I am getting when trying to start winecfg. Google hasn't been helpful with that error, any ideas?

[Wine] Ventrilo crash error - related to winecfg error?

Well, I used to have this problem. What I did back then was sudo chmod 777 /dev/snd/seq and it worked. That's because permissions aren't correctly set. However, recently I found a post and added myself to a group...voila no more need for that. The problem is: which group(s) did I add myself to? It was either related to 'audio' or 'pulseaudio'. Maybe a google search might help? Anyway, to check that it really is related to permissions, try to chmod 777 it, please. Be aware of the security risks (it resets itself upon reboot, though)
