wine users - Sep 2008 - Difficulty with Sound in Games w/Wine

Hello, and thank you to anybody who helps me figure this out.

Ubuntu 8.04
Wine 1.1.3
(Not certain what sound card I have)

When running Diablo 2 and WoW, I'm getting little or no sound.
(No, I don't have pulseaudio installed)
With Diablo 2, I hear and see the title movies, (I.E., the blizzard logos), but
in the actual game, I get no sound at all.

When running WoW, I get no sound at any point throughout the process.

Other than sound, the games appear to run acceptably well.
I have tried toggling the OSS/ALSA usage, and driver emulation with WoW. And I
have never had any other problems with my sound, in general.

Wine has impressed me very much so far, and I cannot thank enough the people who
spend time maintaining such a wonderful resource to the open source community.

Well, I solved it on my own. Set wine to model XP instead of Vista, and fiddled
with some other sound settings.

That is the wrong way. It does not switch everything that needs to be. You
should use winecfg instead.
