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 still relevant. Does anyone know if it's possible to get sound with this arrangement? p.s. please CC me as I'm not subscribed. -- OoberMick "Ugh, it's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up." --Fry (Futurama) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I tried for about 4 weeks to get sound working with ALSA and Wine (for a couple of games) and was never able to. ALSA worked fine for Linux only stuff but not for Wine. I finally dumped ALSA and installed the kernel OSS driver, i810_audio, and everything works now. I would prefer to use ALSA, but I want to be able to get sound in my Wine apps so, for now, no ALSA. If you find a solution, please post here. Rick Knight (rick@rlknight.com)

And when I start wine it says: This sound card's driver does not support direct access The (slower) DirectSound HEL mode will be used instead. I remember having this work OK in the past (I'm not sure of the version of wine or of the versions of ALSA and aRts) but this is not longer the case. I suppose I'll just have to wait until the ALSA modules/drivers get better. Thanks for the help, and when/if I get it working I'll be sure to mail the list. -- OoberMick VI VI VI The editor of the beast. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Your problem may be very similiar to mine. It seems that alsa driver for 8x0 doesn't work with wine as intended in its default state, so you will need to specify "HardwareAcceleration" = "Emulation" in [dsound] section of ~/.wine/config. Unfortunately it leads to various sound glitches in some games/applications, namely Fallout 1/2 for example. Fortunately, forcing alsa to use direct (no plugins) mode for wine works for me just fine without former option. Just replace quake with wine-kthread or wine-pthread in example from http://alsa-project.org/~iwai/OSS-Emulation.html.
