wine users - Jan 2011 - Running program in Wine disables audio for everything else

Whenever I run a program using wine, all programs not running in wine
(basically, every linux program) lose sound. I can fix this by switching the
audio output from my speakers to the speaker built into my monitor (it is
connected via HDMI), and which point the sound returns, and then I can switch
back to my speakers and still have sound. Though this method works fine, I'd
prefer to not have to do this every time I run a program via wine.

Thanks in advance.

Most likely your ALSA is not configured properly (missing dmix plugin).

Thank you! I googled around, and found instructions on how to get the plugin.
Problem solved, thanks again!
