wine users - Nov 2011 - No sound in wine, no matter if pulseuaio is used or not

Hi there,

since my upgrade to Kubuntu 11.10, the sound is not working anymore in wine.

By starting "wincfg" audio settings I get:


Code:

fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 32 channels,
pretending there's only 2 channels
fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000
channels, pretending there's only 2 channels
fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000
channels, pretending there's only 2 channels
fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000
channels, pretending there's only 2 channels
fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 32 channels,
pretending there's only 2 channels
fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000
channels, pretending there's only 2 channels
fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000
channels, pretending there's only 2 channels




Other than that, no message is reported. Clicking on "Test sound" does
not lead to any response.

Disbaling pulseaudio does not change anything, I get the same messages and no
sound.

Selected driver is: winealsa.drv

Trying to change the registry key so that oss is used does not work. I get
"no driver" when I set [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
Audio="oss".

Does anyone have an idea what I can do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Try opening winecfg and going to the "libraries" tab. Look in the

to "openal32 (native, builtin)" for sound to work correctly, but I am
in
a different distro and don't use pulse so I'm not sure if it will help
you.

unfortunately that doesnt help. I get the same errors messages as before.

But I realised another thing. Clicking on "test audio" twice within a
short time results in this error message:


Code:

err:winmm:WINMM_OpenDevice Activate failed: 80004005




Btw; my wine version is 1.3.32

I now downgraded to wine version 1.2.3. There sound works when in winecfg
"alsa" in "emulation" mode is chosen.

Is the "emulation" mode not supported anymor in the newer wine
versions?

Have you tried the troubleshooting tips in http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound?

Yes, I have tried. I have tried also many other things i have found in google
searching for more than 3 hours. Nothing helped. Maybe it is connected with my
sound card: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller
(rev 02). I have found other people had problems with Intel chipset cards.

listed in the overrides box of the libraries tab of winecfg. It should so up as
openal32(native, builtin). If it's not there, add it.
Already tried it. Didn't work. 

Now I'm trying something that looking to work. The error message still
appears on console with winecfg (cited already about channels), but sound work
yet. Will check it for some longer time and write if work really, because before
were also times it work, but short time. After longer playing i will write
results.

Ok, so... the problem is still acutal. I've selected "HDA Intel -
CONEXANT Analog" as the default sound device in winecfg for all (input and
output) and it works perfectly, but... unfortunately only if you run only one
wine aplication that uses sound. If you run second - it gives error message
(unknown error) and the second application stops.

So... we return to begining. No sound on normal (default system sound) setting
in winecfg.   :x
