[Wine] Re: No sound in Wine 1.3.37 (tried known solutions already)

I am experiencing what appears to be this same problem. However, I am already
running a self-compiled Wine, so that alone cannot be the solution in this case.

I am running 64-bit Debian, tracking testing. I have compiled Wine myself, from
git revision b05be807583eca27dc0a4de896ba901bac54088c ("Release
1.4-rc5.").

As with the previous report, winecfg reports that it's using winealsa.drv,
and the winecfg sound test works fine when the listed devices are all set to the
(System default) device. However, when I set them to any other device, the sound
test stops actually producing sound (though it does not report failure). Also
like the previous report, clicking Apply does not appear to actually change the
device for this purpose; to effectively change the device being used for the
sound test, it is necessary to exit winecfg and re-launch it.

I am testing game sound using World of Warcraft (the 32-bit edition). When using
the (System default) sound device, there is very quiet, choppy sound on the
pre-login title screen; there does not appear to be any identifiable sound after
logging in. When using any other sound device, there is no in-game sound at all.

In-game sound is configured appropriately as far as I can tell, and in-game
volume levels are appropriate. An identical World of Warcraft install directory
(literally copied using rsync) works flawlessly on my laptop, with Wine revision
769fd080f88235a687c18127ed0c580d60ad630a ("ddraw: Don't leak the window
DC."). The laptop is also tracking 64-bit Debian testing, but is some
distance further behind, and various sound-related packages (oss4, for instance)
have been updated in the meantime. I have tried also synchronizing the ~/.wine/
directory between the two machines, but it made no difference.

The output of 'aplay -L' is:

I have no ~/.asoundrc. My /etc/asound.conf, which seems to work flawlessly in
other respects, is:


Code:
pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer  {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024
        slave {
                pcm "hw:DX"
        }
        bindings {
                0 0
                1 1
        }
}

ctl.dmixer {
        type hw
        card DX
}



The output from winecfg when the sound test works successfully is:


Code:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:957:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) The dmix plugin supports only
playback stream

Please note that just compiling Wine yourself is not enough. Wine will compile
even if many of seemingly essential libraries are missing. For best results,
make sure you support everything you can, meaning every library that Wine can
use and it exists as a package for your distro. You can skip libraries that
obviously have nothing to do with games, like scanner support, unless you
absolutely want to have them as well.

The best way to do this would be to find a Debian compilation guide (in your
case) and install everything it lists as dependency. Then start configure script
and install everything it says "no" for. You can also use configure
script only but a guide would save you a lot of restarts of the script.
