No sound inside Age of Empires 2

[kromak]

Hello. When trying to run Age of Empires 2, it shows no sound during gameplay or with the introductory videos. There is sound during the main screen.

Some console output during execution

wine empires2.exe

The wine version it is wine-1.2.2

Any suggestions (if possible ones that work for the 1.2.2 Wine)

Why do you want to use an old version?
An audio bug in Age of Empires 2 was fixed in 1.5.1

[kromak]

Because it is the version that comes with my OS. I tried to install version 1.5.1 but it complains

checking whether gcc -m32 works... no
configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.

Suggestions?

What is the name and version of your OS?

Ubuntu 10.04.

Ubuntu 10.04 went EOL in 2015. You need to upgrade your OS.

Unfortunately I can't do that.

When I type

PULSE_SERVER=localhost:4712

on command line and then runs age2, it seems to start with sound, but it soon vanishes, like in the link posted by jkfloris. Plus it seems to have small "stops" where it game's characters and everything else seems to stop by a fraction of seconds every couple of seconds.

Here the wine output for my latest attempt (Started a game with sound, that soon vanished, exit the game, started another, this time with no sound at all)
