wine users - Jan 2012 - No sound in Wine 1.3.37 (tried known solutions already)

Note to admins: Please, read through my whole post this time before deleting it.
You will be surprised to find out that I have already tried all solutions
detailed in the stickies. If you still think that this topic should be deleted,
please be kind enough to notify me why, so that I would know how to proceed
about getting help with my problem. Thank you.

I have 64-bit OpenSUSE 12.1 and I have installed Wine 1.3.37 from the official
repo. I'm testing with Fallout and Fallout 2 which both have no 'no
sound' issues and have platinum and gold ratings only on all tests. Both
games start without a problem except that there is no sound at all. The exclude
Black Isle's Fallout games as a problem, I also tested Civilization 2
Multiplayer Gold Edition and it also started without a sound. All games have the
following error in common:

Code:
err:dsound:devenum_thread_proc CoCreateInstance failed: 80040154



winecfg Audio tab says it is using winealsa.drv and all devices are set to
(System Default). Sound test in winecfg works perfectly. Changing devices seems
to take effect only after clicking ok, not when clicking apply. After changing a
device to anything other than (System Default), sound test no longer works.

The output of aplay -L is:

aplay, speaker-test and KDE system sounds work without a problem.

The solutions I have tried:

1) Installing dsound with winetricks. dsound is downloaded and copied correctly,
but it ends with the following error:

Code:
Executing wine regsvr32 dsound.dll
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {44ec053a-400f-11d0-9dcd-00a0c90391d3} not
registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {44ec053a-400f-11d0-9dcd-00a0c90391d3}
could be created for context 0x1
Failed to register DLL dsound.dll
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'wine regsvr32 dsound.dll' returned status 255.  Aborting.



2) Starting Wine with pasuspender. Doesn't help.

3) Killing pulseaudio process. I set autospawn = no in the config to prevent it
from restarting. Doesn't help. Event with pulseaudio daemon not running,
aplay, speaker-test and KDE system sounds work without a problem, so does sound
test in winecfg, but games started in Wine still have no sound.

What am I doing wrong?

By "all solutions" do you also mean the ones listed in
http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound (particularly the one listed under SDL
Applications)? If not, try that.

Try winetricks vcrun6.

That log is awfully short. Is this a clean wineprefix?
