liquidzoo Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 So...apparently even though alsa is (apparently) installed and configured, wine can't see it. OSS isn't providing any sound through wine, and the wine wiki doesn't help at all. Any thoughts about what I can do here? Sound is kinda important to the games I play through wine. Whenever I try to test the sound with the OSS driver, it says sound test failed. Alsa isn't listed at all, and a urpmi of Alsa wants to upgrade my kernel, which I will do if it will help.

scoonma Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Which version of wine do you use? You can install recent packages through the main/backports repository. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 It's the most recent one that was installed with urpmi. One of the 1.0 rc's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Make sure you have the task-pulseaudio and libalsa-plugins-pulseaudio packages installed. Open your wine configurator and in the audio tab check if ALSA is being used, then hit the 'test sound' button. If you have no sound, then I would suggest that you disable PulseAudio and try again. Many users have had to disable Pulse to get sound working with wine apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 That's the problem...Alsa's not even listed in the Wine config. Though, with the other problems I've had, I think getting Wine working right is the least of my concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 After running winecfg, set your driver to either alsa or OSS (whatever available), and under direct sound/hardware acceleration set it as "emulation". Any better now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
