Sound card not found

Post by nematoad »

I have just installed Skyrim via the Windows version of Steam.

When I try to run the game I get the error message "No sound device detected. Skyrim cannot run."

Can anyone advise me how I can get Wine to see my Soundblaster Audigy card ? When I go to the audio config section in Wine all that shows is a "System default" entry and no other choices. I have no problems with other programs and sound works well otherwise.

Any pointers in solving this problem will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Skyrim, audio and Wine don't work always nice together. Read the AppDB for workarounds:
