wine users - Jun 2011 - Sound works in other source engine games but not DOD:S

I can play HL2 and others OOTB with sound. With DOD:S I have tried every
combination of audio options in winecfg and also disabled pulseaudio to no
avail.
I can't seem to find the same issue reported that wasn't easily fixed
with the above steps.

"Linux Mint 11 64" 2.6.38-8-generic
Wine 1.3.21 (from Ubuntu Natty PPA)

Games are steam versions. 

I have no idea where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
