[Wine] Could not load 'SOUND.DLL' required by 'sierrawh', error=2
Hello list, I'm trying to get some old windows Win95/98 games to run without too much luck. This example is a Sierra Hoyle Classic Games CD from 1998, which should be enough to keep my wife happy without having to reboot my computer back into windows...if I can get it to work. The installer itself runs fine, and even plays a sample sound clip to test the sound before installing. After that, when I actually try to run the game, I get the SOUND.DLL error quoted in this email's subject. I found some stuff in a bug report from a while back, but it didn't look like a solution was presented. Is there some way I can get this to work? If I can find a copy of the sound.dll, should that be sufficient to make the game work (or at least get beyond that first error)? Thanks in advance for any suggestions... Mike

Well, I'd definetly try to copy the dll from a windows partition (I have mine mounted on /windows for reasons like this). I'd also fool around with "winecfg" and see if adjusting the audio settings works. It wouldn't hurt to do: WINEDEBUG="loaddll" wine yourprogramname.exe and see if SOUND.DLL is being loaded native or builtin.

Hi Mike,
There is an open bug about that:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3950
In my opinion, it sounds no trivial to solve the problem ..... sorry.

My mistake ....
In fact you can use winecfg (command line), click at the
"Applications" tab -> "Add application" and add the
executable you want.
Then (at the same tab) you click at the executable you have just
added. Click now at the "Libraries" tab and add a "New override
for
library". In our case: sound.dll (that will work *only* for the executable
you have clicked right before in the "Application" tab).
You can also chage the order of DLL's by clicking on the
"Edit"
button. But in your case you will want "native, builtin".
It's not one line correction but .... ;)
HTH

Sorry Jeff/Ulisses - I've been sending my replies off-list... At any rate, no change so far - even after doing the stuff mentioned below, I still get error #21: Could not load 'SOUND.DLL' required by 'sierrawh', error=21 Since I can't register the copy of sound.dll that I have with regsvr32, I'm thinking that I have the wrong one - none of my WinXP or Win98 machines have it, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place to find a working version...?

[Wine] Could not load 'SOUND.DLL' required by 'sierrawh', error=2
No luck...the softsnd.dll also does not work. I looked at the debug output, and it appears that the sound.dll is being searched for, then found in the following location: /home/mgleahy/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/sound.dll This appears to be correct, but still I get error=21 (I think I could put a link to any file I want and I'll get the same). I do notice earlier in the debug output the following: 0009:Call kernel32.__wine_dll_register_16(597f5e58,597abc3f "sound.drv") ret=59787f07 Is that an issue at all?
