I'm not sure, but I think Audacity normally wants to control the sound
hardware directly, and the "Wine Sound Mapper" choice makes it go
through whatever driver is selected in winecfg.

Other people have had sound issues. As changes are implemented, some things
break along the way.

Have you tried the Linux version of Audacity? Is there a reason you're
trying the Windows version instead?
