N0 Sound or USB ports

[linsol]

I'm new to using Wine. I'm running UBUNTU 8.04 on a Dell B130/1300 laptop. Ubuntu seems to running fine. I uploaded Motorola Phone tools with no problem using the Wine installer. The program launched ok and even went to the internet an downloaded and installed the updates.
The problem is it doesn't see my usb port. How do I get Wine to use the usb port?
Also I get no sound out when I use winecfg in the audio tab. I've tried all the choices and when I hit TEST, no sound at all.
Thanks in advance.

(1) Try going into winecfg and changing the sound from alsa to oss. See if this helps with sound and device recognition. I have a USB sound device, and it only works with wine/oss.
(2) Install alsa-oss and see if that helps.
(3) Check to see if Ubuntu recognizes your USB device outside the wine environment. Mine was only recognized recently by Ubuntu, and I run 8.10. If not, check Ubuntu bugs.

Unless it's a USB->serial device Wine won't be able to work with it.
If it is USB->serial, make sure system loaded an appropriate driver for it. Then just map it to a com port ex:

Code: Select all

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

Also I get no sound out when I use winecfg in the audio tab. I've tried all the choices and when I hit TEST, no sound at all.
