Audio Tab in winecfg Crashes

As the title states, when I click on the Audio Tab inside of WineCFG it crashes horribly. I looked for a way to set it up manually through the registry but I didn't see anything so if someone could tell me how to set Wine to use ALSA or the opposite (OSS) I would be much obliged.

Your audio setup is broken then, but you can avoid the crash by
upgrading to 1.1.10.

What OS are you using?

Well I did a world update for my setup and it found a new version of GCC so its having to recompile it which is going to take a day or two but WINE is in there so yeah

In a terminal, type:
wine regedit

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Wine / Drivers

Right-click on audio

Change alsa to oss, or whatever.
