similar to: Strange sound problems on Hardy

I have recently formatted my system in order to install Intrepid Ibex, and I am now using it with Wine 1.1.7. I did a backup of the prefixes of the games I was using in Hardy / Wine up to 1.1.5, and imported them in my new installment. The games work normally, but the sound is crackling all the time for each of them; something which was not happening in my former installment. I have not noticed

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

Wine requires direct access to sound device(s) to make sound. This is true for both ALSA and OSS driver back-ends. However most sound servers are not compatible with neither of these back-ends. This also true about pulse-audio - it is not fully compatible with Wine. If you using new distro (Fedora 8, Ubuntu 8.04, SuSE 11) and do not have sound you should: 1. Report problem to your distro support

This is one of those nasty answers. If you are running pulseaudio switching to emulation for directsound then it works. This is most likely not a bug in wine. But a bug in pulseaudio provided version of alsa interface. If you not running pulseaudio so just alsa direct problem can be wine. But due to varation in quality of alsa drivers it might be an alsa driver bug. Please not pasuspender is

Tried with Ubuntu 9.04 x64 Tomb raider III - major slowdowns and breaks Crayon physics - no Breaks but very slow Counter strike 1.6 lower framerates (not much 3-5 fps of diference) Age of empires II a little slower, can't say if it is a wine regression or x64 fault haven't tried wine 1.20 on x86 yet. Flash 8 - Normal speed? can't tell if it's faster or slower it runs at normal

I have a USB Sound Blaster. I run phpmp for my ogg archive and have a FM transmitter hooked to it. On my laptop the dom0 has no sound. How is this accomplished on one of the DomU''s? Can I share the sound across multiple machines? Michael -- *G. Michael Carter* *Projects* .. GarageSales http://www.garagesaleorganizer.ca Blog/Diaries http://theshadow.carterfamily.ca Family

Pulseaudio works great in wine using the modified wine from the Neill Aldur ppa. Tried everything else (padsp, pasuspender, blah) and nothing would work reliably. Some crashes when another application outputs sound, sometimes the sound does not work at all, sometimes it is awfully slow or with latency varying while recording, leading to unpredictable offsets in recorded files. Using pulseaudio

So I used to use the winepulse patch for wine. (Yes I like pulse). But since 1.3.25+ uses mmdevapi for audio, that patch no longer works. That author points to a wine multimedia git, however, after installing that I have no more sound in any wine application, and the winecfg test audio says audio failed. How do I get this new sound server working in wine? -- Sincerely, MacNean C. Tyrrell

I have a hard time trying to run any game through Steam on Wine 1.0-rc2 and PulseAudio. I already configured it according to this sites: http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/05/27/make-wine-and-pulseaudio-get-along/ and http://skoruppa.jogger.pl/2008/05/18/pulseaudio-my-ultimate-config/ (in Polish, but similar to this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578).

[1.2]StarCraft 2 - Very Slow On Good Computer? Hi, Using Wine 1.2 Final on Ubuntu 10.04 32bit. When running game "StarCraft 2", the game is very slow?

I use Intrepid Studio, and have all updates as of today (29-Oct). As of a few days ago, my distro does not shut down or start cleanly. It is because I have removed pulseaudio. The same thing happens on shutdown when I have pulseaudio stopped with pactl exit. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what is the workaround when using wine? pasuspender wine application.exe ?? Thanks. Susan

When people have audio trouble with programs in wine the first suggestion is always to remove pulseaudio, I'm not questing that - it often fixes the problem, but I do wonder if there are plans to make wine and pulseaudio work better together? Each new version of the major Linux distros seems to make pulse harder and harder to remove without messing up the system. Outside of wine pulse is

Hello, I have a sound problem with wine: when it is running, the sound works fine, but no other application can play any sound. If I have sound playing elsewhere and then launch wine, then wine do not play any sound. I am using pulseaudio, debian sid 64 bits and I can play several sounds at the same time. This problem happen even if pulseaudio is disabled, and with every wine version I tried

I upgraded to karmic yesterday, and ran winecfg. The list of possible sound systems has shrunk to three: oss, jack and eSound. I tried running winecfg plain, and with padsp and pasuspender prefixes. Susan

Hi. I can confirm that pulse does indeed work quite well with wine. I've been using oss emulation and padsp together for a long time now, and I've had very few if any problems with it. I simply use Code: aoss padsp wine whatever and it's fine. I don't know if I need to use padsp after aoss after reading this thread, but it's what I've been doing. So pulse does mostly

Hello, i am a new Linux user as of last weekend. I successfully built my first computer and installed Ubuntu 10.10 and wine 1.2. I am using the hdmi out on my nvidia gtx 460 graphics card with on-board which works fine with standard pulseaudio for all tested native apps (system sounds, hulu on firefox, warzone 2100). I have tried every combination of winecfg audio tab settings as well as

In 1.1.5 the sound/music in games played allright. Since 1.1.6 it skips badly - plays for a couple of seconds, then stops for half a second, then plays again, then skips and so on. Happens on every game on Steam - Team Fortress 2, Everyday Shooter, Peggle Extreme - and also without Steam - Icy Tower. I have Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card. I've found that in Winecfg when I choose Alsa driver

Hi there! My problem is the following: I am experimenting with virtualization with XEN. I am running WinXP in a HVM host with a Debian Gnu/Linux (Etch) dom0. I am also using audio emulation (sb16). This way, sounds from WinXP work fine. And here comes the problem: The HVM guest completely reserves the audio device; other software can not use it. (mplayer says this: alsa-init: using ALSA

What sound cards are recognized by Centros? I have installed it on an old 400MHz IBM Aptiva that has Crystal Audio built-in. However it does not seem to recognize that, nor a Sound Blaster, nor a Sound Blaster 16 that I have tried. Any cheapo cards that it would recognize? Mike

My apologies beforehand if this is a common issue, but I have next to no experience with Ubuntu. I have a regular microphone hooked into my MoBo onboard sound and it works fine in Ubuntu (tested using a sound recorder). When I launch Steam, and any game within, I cannot get my microphone to work. I haven't tested this in other programs in WINE since I don't have anything else installed
