similar to: Poor sound quality on anything other than "emulation"

Hello everyone, my first post here :) I know this is an old thread but is similar with my problem. IMHO the sound card type is not relevant because I'm having the same issue on every PC and card I've tried so far, so I'll skip that. At the moment I'm playing "Enclave" using wine 1.1.43 compiled from source on PCLinuxOS and Mandriva, and the behavior is the same no

Hey guys, I am having some problems getting the sound to work with wine, and I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out. This is my first time using wine, so I am still learning about it. Anyway, when I try to run my application, I get an error back: err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Could not map sound device for direct access (Input/output error) err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Please run winecfg,

I am having a strange sound issue that affects all apps on Wine. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and have a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit. Wine version 1.0rc3 is configured to use the ALSA driver.

I am trying to run Sins of a Solar Empire (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=6653), and most reports say that it is playable, with the exception of large fotns. However, I an having sound problems. Sound is stuttering in-game. I tried fiddling around with the sound options in winecfg, but nothing solved the problem (although Emulation instead of Full hardware

Hello, list! I'm using KDE and oss sound system.

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

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

Pre wine version 1.2.26 sound worked fine in lotro and the in game audio options page showed the sound card in a dropdown box and titles for all of the sound option slide bars.

Hi, I've been try to get sound in wine (20040121) working on my machine for while now. As you've probably guessed I've got a SiS 7012 (which uses the intel i8x0 modules) and alsa (either natively or OSS emulation.) google came up with a few hits about this not working in the past, namely: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0281.html But I'm not sure if this is

I've never had any issues with Wine and audio up until now. The machine is a HTPC which is connected to a TV via HDMI. Audio works perfectly in everything without changing any additional settings, but in Wine it just refuses to work. This machine has no other sound devices other than the HDMI audio output, the onboard audio is disabled. Initially I just got the ALSA message about no master

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

Hi all, I recently managed to install "multimedia German dictionary", which I get with the local newspaper , under wine and it works OK.

I've been trying to fix this for a couple of weeks now without any luck. I'm hoping someone here can offer some help. I Replaced my mainboard and CPU about a month ago.

Because of the difference in sound systems I needed to rebuild the
