similar to: No Sound in Wine - disable / remove pulseaudio

as i do like the pulseaudio server, i do not want to remove it completely. instead, each time i want to run a program thru wine i kill the pulseaudio. can be done by a hotkey or shortcut. ' killall pulseaudio done. Sound works. and when u want pulseaudio to run again, use this ' pulseaudio even simpler. So if you make shortcuts or hotkeys, this is a piece of cake. stop pulseaudio:

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

Change -- The program I test with is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Yesterday's Ubuntu updates produced a rash of pulseaudio changes, and suddenly alsa works with wine, without stumbling. Today's secret to making it work: In System/Preferences/Startup applications, uncheck pulseaudio sudo apt-get install esound sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf autospawn = no Then every time your computer

Since PulseAudio causes much trouble alot, why not make WINE to either 1) autodisable 2) ask to disablePulseAudio when running something ? By my understanding if this would be implemented, either of the following is done: 1) When executing wine theprogramname.exe it first calls to WINE, which then query the system for PA. Then if PA is found, WINE adds padsp to the commandline and continues

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

I have a USB soundcard that I have tried to run with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It doesn't work unless I set winecfg to oss instead of alsa. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get alsa over USB? Thanks, Susan Cragin

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

I have sound problems in Ubuntu Studio, starting yesterday. These may be caused by a Ubuntu bug, but I wanted to run them by wine users and see if anyone else is having a similar problem. My configuration: I use Ubuntu Studio. I installed it clean this morning, with default options. Then I purged pulseaudio (because pulseaudio does not work with wine) asoundconf list shows the following

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

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

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

NaturallySpeaking under wine is working remarkably well considering the amount of complexity present in both systems.. When I use it, it's just smoother and feels better than NaturallySpeaking under Windows. My undying gratitude is extended to all of those that helped. Here's what doesn't work so well. Audio. Specifically, vxi-b200 USB microphone In order to use it, I need to turn off

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

I just upgraded to wine-1.3.25 from the PPA repository and my USB soundcard is no longer recognized. (I have pulseaudio disabled, and the USB set as my "default" card.) I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The program's message says "The audio input device is not responding." and "The sound system does not support the requested waveform audio format." But alsamixer

Alsa audio started working a couple of days ago with wine and then stopped working yesterday. Here is my experience. Pulseaudio cannot be removed any more. So I reinstalled the system and left it there. I compiled wine git and installed, and then installed DNS 10. Then I re-booted, ran killall pulseaudio in terminal, and started the program with winecfg's sound set to alsa. Everything

I upgraded to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, and Wine 1.1.8 some time last week, and then reinstalled Spore to give it some play. It worked fine for a couple of days, but now I'm in the space stage and the game is incredibly sluggish. This wasn't happening beforehand, it was running fast and marvellously smooth until I tried to stop a war on my home planet. This appears to be a recurring theme,

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).

A problem I have with most applications I've tried is after several minutes, they will slow down to a crawl, becoming unusable. The program I'm mainly interested in is Painkiller (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/painkiller/index.html). It runs beautifully at first, and I can usually get through a level, but after that, it slows down or even stops. Is this an issue in Wine or could this
