wine users - Jun 2016 - Sound is not working

Moin,

a stupid thing, but I guess I never used a windows application with
sound. Anyhow, an application (K9DUR Voice Keyer) that just play
wav-Files does not find a sound card in its configuration.

With winetricks I set "sound=alsa". In the winecfg "Audio"
tab are two
values: "(System Default)" and "Out: default". But no matter
what I
choose: Instead of the Test Sound there is only a scatch in the loadspeaker.

System: Ubuntu 14.04
Wine-Version: 2.6.2

Any hint what I can check next?

Thanks

Well, you seem to have sound output because otherwise there would not be
scratching. I don’t know much about sound on Wine, but I do have
personal experience of similar issues with scratching on my Logitech USB
headset.

- Changing settings with alsamixer may help.
- Using a different loudspeaker / headphones may work.
- Using PulseAudio may work.

Maybe it helps; maybe not.
