wine users - Jul 2009 - Microphone Issues (Wine 1.0.1 & Ubuntu Jaunty)

Hi all

I cannot get my microphone to work under Wine - It is absolutely fine on Ubuntu
(Jaunty), as I use Skype without issues.

I am connecting to my motherboard mic socket.  Pulseaudio was apt-get purged
from my system months ago and I run Alsa.  I tried selecting OSS, but as this
locks any other devices, I get no sound.

I noticed though, under the Audio Settings in Wine Configuration, ALSA
doesn't show a "Wave In" device.  I assume that this will block
the mic.  How can I get an ALSA Wave In device setup/installed?

Many thanks

First of all upgrade Wine, wine-1.0.1 is a really old version.

If things won't work, make sure nothing else using sound input (no other
sound recording application running at the same time).

Hi there

I realise it is an older version, but I am loathe to update as it works
perfectly with everything I need...and I keep reading of people having issues
with newer versions and TF2 for example.

It is the version that I got from the Jaunty repositories.

That said, do you think that the newer version will add a Wave In device to
Alsa?
