Hi Y'all, I have this little wine problem that I'm hoping someone out there will know how to solve. I'm using wine to run IE5 which I need to do for the learndirect online course I am studying. It works pretty well when it works at all. However, sometimes when I start it up, I get a very loud rumbling sound which has me running to switch my hi-fi speakers off before the cones fly across the room. Once this happens, the only way I know to stop it is to reboot the system. Bummer! So can you tell me how to kill this process when it begins without rebooting, or better still, how to stop it occurring in the first place. Is it possible to completely disable sound - which I don't need - in wine? I'm using Codeweavers Wine 20020904 if that matters.

If you have KDE installed, just run artsd before running wine, it's not a very nice solution, but it works. Also, why are you using such an old version of wine? The leatest build is 20030813, you can get it here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241 This may or may not solve the problem, but it is a good idea to upgrade.
