similar to: OSS on wine?

Whenever I change the sound driver from ALSA to OSS in winecfg all of my steam games are muted. Some of the games doesn't even start, some of them start but are totally silent with OSS. I installed a couple of non-steam games into the same wineprefix, interestingly they can use both sound systems. So this issue is applied only to steam games. If I apply the WINEDEBUG=+dsound parameter when

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

I am currently using a gentoo, (so no pulseaudio installed) and I can't get any sound with wine. I 'm trying to use alsa because winecfg deleted the entry of oss. My wine version is 1.3.24 The sound worked one time but doesn't still work...I uninstalled wine, deleted the .wine directory and re-installed but it didn't fix the problem. These are details about my soundcard : >

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. In 1.3.26 and now 1.3.27 there is no sound in game and the audio options window does not show any sound card or titles for the sound options or various volume slider bars and all of the bars are set at minimum. The

Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.60. I have got loads of steam apps to run including team fortress 2. However, when I join a game in Counter Strike: Source, as soon as I get to the team select, it freezes up, with the gunshot sounds repeating. It then simply closes. I looked on appdb and the main causes are alsa sound, and to make sure only alsa sound is selected in winecfg. I also

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

Hey, can someone explain me why CS:S is slower when I use ALSA instead of OSS? (with ALSA I've ca. 20-40 fps, with OSS I've 60-120 fps) But why?

After hours of searching, I give up and will ask for directions. runing wine 1.1.27 on Ubuntu 9.04 on a T-23 Thinkpad using the onboard sound card and a Plantronics DSP-500 headset. After days of searching I finally got both to work, but limitation in Ubuntu will not allow both to work at the "same time". One or the other. Plantronics only works in a mixed mode ALSA and OSS

I had wine working beautifully with OSS4 under LMDE, and I just switched to fedora which uses WINE 1.3.33 (a much more current version than what's in debian repos) and there's no OSS support?! Every time I try to force OSS it says "no driver" under audio. I don't want pulseaudio or ALSA on my system and spotify was working beautifully with OSS4 before. I tried looking for

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

Hello I'm using Debian Squeeze, with my personal compiled Wine-1.3.17. Games run well with this version I think but... I can't seem to get sound working in Wine. Native linux apps like VLC work with sound. Winecfg says "Audio test failed" if I try that. I can only see the OSS driver though I believe I am using ALSA(not sure though). [Image:

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

I have the latest version of Ubuntu Studio (Karmic) and just re-installed it today. I use non-pulse applications, including Audacity and Dragon NaturallySpeaking running under wine. I have tried disabling pulseaudio every way I know how. I am getting no sound, mostly due to what are described as timeout errors. Ubuntu has been working to make it run with pulseaudio properly disabled, so that

With last Wine the sound stutters. With last from Ubuntu repository (old) 1.0.1, work near the flawless! I use alsa (pulseaudio -> default -> alsa). ... But sometime wow crash. Now I've tried 1.1.10 and 1.1.11 and the the sound stutters. Please fix this problem :( Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 Q6600 at 3.2GHz X-Meridian 7.1 nVidia 8800 GT 512Mb Zotac AMP!

Hi List, I have an ASUS G73S laptop with our favorite OS installed and all up-to-date. Sound has always "just worked" When I use the Preferences>Sound app I can setup the hardware, input, output and was overall very impressed. One can check each speaker and the laptop has a front left and right and also has a bass speaker which seems to be connected to the left rear. The various

I'd want to run the windows editor for my guitar preamp (VOX Tonelab SE) which is connected to the MIDI in and out sockets of my soundcard. The program installs and starts without any problems under wine but it can't find any MIDI ports. MIDI works fine otherwise in Linux - I can read from and write to the sockets with arecordmidi and aplaymidi, but there are no MIDI devices visible

Is there any way I can get PulseAudio working with Wine 1.1.28? I just compiled (first install on this OS) of Wine from the website, and I only had the choice of OSS as my driver. Surprisingly this made a test sound, but as I thought it does not work at the same time as Pulse. So how can I get Pulse, ESound, ALSA support for a compiled version of Wine on Mandriva 2009.1?

Greetings, I've used wine for several years now, but I've never really gotten involved with development so I'm not sure how or even where this would need to go. I've found a regression in the latest (as of 1-1-09) git of wine; alsa sound doesn't appear to work. It did work from a version of wine I had cloned from git about a week earlier. It also works fine in 1.1.11 release.

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
