Hi, I installed wine in order to be able to transfer data from my Polar Heart Rate Monitor to my computer. The program uses sound to transmit data files, which are picked up my the microphone and then the program shows all data, if all goes well. It worked perfectly twice, but then I get sound problems. The problem here, is that the sounds from the HRM are not being picked up by the microphone. In winecfg, I see that VIA 8235 is the wave-out device, but as wave-in device dsnoop:0 is given. I think this is where the problem lies: another program shares wave-in with the HRM program. Is this indeed the case or am I wrong about this? How can I make wine to be the only program using the wave-in device? TIA! Gr, Derk

You should get the same sound in both apps, it shouldn't matter that dsnoop is in use. If you really want to fiddle with this, I think you can override defaults by supplying a /etc/alsa.conf. If you are having problems with ALSA, their mailing lists might be more appropriate.> The problem here, is that the sounds from the HRM are not being picked up by > the microphone.Could be a totally unrelated issue. Can you pick up the sound with a non-wine program? Are you sure that dsnoop is using your microphone input and not your line in? Do you have two soundcards (builtin + PCI) - I know, long shot, but might as well ask.

To answer your question:yes I can record it with Recording in suse. When I play the soundfile backin front of the microphone under wine, it isn't picked up by the program. So it seems that the sound recording using the program under wine is gone.> Are you sure that dsnoop is using your microphone input and not your line > in?Oh sorry, I thought that line-in was the same as (microphone) input.> Do you have two soundcards (builtin + PCI) - I know, long shot, but > might as well ask.No, just the built in one on my Asus mainboard. Thanks, Derk
