wine users - Oct 2009 - Prince of Persia Warrior within CRASHES with wine

Hi everyone.

I am new to Linux ubuntu 9.10 , and i'm experiencing problems with wine
trying getting "POP Warrior within" to be playable.

I have narrowed my problems in that wine does not "see" my audio
driver at   all.Running "winecfg" in terminal,and after clicking in
the audio tab pops out a window saying that there is currently no audio driver
in the registry..???

I have very good sound while playing mp3 with Totem, and or watch movies with
Moovida.So , practically this is not true..

I have tried almost everything i found in various workarounds but nothing
helped. Any more ideas????please

P.S. Do you think that  if i created an NTFS partition on my hard drive perhaps
that will resolve the issue? Currently there is only one partition now 250gb in
ext3 , and a small "swap" partition.

Yes, that is what you get when you haven't yet configured your sound. 
The rest of the message should be
A recommended driver has been selected for you.
You can use this driver or select another driver if available.


Have you disabled PulseAudio? http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=1457

No, that will create other problems. The wineprefix needs to be in a native
Linux filesystem. You can use an NTFS partition for data.

Clicked submit on that last message little too soon. What I neglected to add:
what happens when you click "okay" on that popup message about sound?
Have you actually configured sound in Wine?
