Wine USB sound is OSS only?
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

using ALSA with a USB device?? Is this possible?
I run Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. I want to be able to use a USB microphone with alsa but am unable to do so. My iMic USB soundcard requires that I run winecfg and set audio to OSS.
Here's my dilemma.
The USB mic gives me better sound. (DNS accuracy settings on average 3 points higher, which is significant.)
Alsa gives me better latency. (Or maybe something else, but I think it's

progress of sound update -- REVISED
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

Help installing large files - Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.5 and 10.0
I have been trying to install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.5 and 10.0 using wine's most current git.
With 9.5, the install fails to install the largest files, which are quite huge.
With 10.0, the files are even larger, and the install just hangs and won't continue.
?? Wine 9.0, which has slightly smaller file sizes, installs and runs pretty well.
Oddly, I have also tried copying all

Dragon NaturallySpeaking
Under Wine 23,
DNS9 installed seemingly well through Disk 1 (wouldn't let me remove Disk 1 and install Disk 2).
Wine 24 and 25 seem to have regressed.
I have Ubuntu' Feisty installed, and used the Edgy build. That may be part of the problem.

Running DNS 9.5 Standard
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.0 Preferred installs and runs. However, DNS 9.5 installs well but does not. The output is as follows.
I have been told that there is an oleacc function that has not been implemented in wine, but does anyone else have any suggestions?

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7 install fails -ve memory reported
Hi folks,
I'm presently having my second foray into Wine. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on a machine with 3GB memory. I'm having problems installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7 and would welcome some guidance.
When I run "wine /media/cdrom1/autorun.exe" the install looks promising for a few moments, then an error message saying:

Naturally speaking + Wine better, the audio not so good
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

Getting lowest latency sound?
I have been trying to get lowest-latency sound (with highest fidelity) to use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
I have Jaunty and the latest RT kernel, which I know has problems for many applications but works fine to run DNS. (It will not, however, install the program nor train it.)
I set up real-time audio access as follows:
sudo su -c 'echo @audio - rtprio 99 >>

How do I activate large-file option in compiler
How do I activate this flag in ./configure?

Possible recent bug disables sound in wine - Ubuntu Studio
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)

Program sees RAM as a negative number
I'm trying to install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 7, just to test it out.
For some reason it says that my RAM is -1024 or something like that.
It's really a +3GB.

Regression: Dragon Naturally Speaking 7.
I had installed Dragon Naturally Speaking under Wine 1.1.7 and earlier, and it was working fine.
But now under Wine 1.1.9, the result seems to be, that the toolbar for this application first goes into a strange state, where the (Linux) cursor disappears whenever the mouse is positioned over the application's toolbar. And using winecfg to emulate a virtual desktop does not change this

No Sound in Wine - disable / remove 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:

USB SoundCard no longer recognized in 1.3.25
I just upgraded to wine-1.3.25 from the PPA repository and my USB soundcard is no longer recognized.

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
The program's message says
"The audio input device is not responding."

"The sound system does not support the requested waveform audio format."

No sound on ThinkPad -- mixer issue
I have no sound in wine. I open my application (Dragon NaturallySpeaking) and it says the device is not responding. (Neither the mike jack nor the USB pod.)
When I run winecfg I get the following message.

fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on ThinkPad Console Audio Control, disabling mixer
So it appears that my mixer
