Debian 5 no sound in wine.

Post by Nuli »

I recently upgraded a Debian 4 system to Debian 5. At the same time I upgraded the version of wine I was using. In both cases wine was compiled from source. Under Debian 4 wine worked fine, sound and all. Under Debian 5 programs still function fine but with no sound.

Using winecfg I can get to the audio tab and add the oss driver with no issues, can't seem to add an alsa driver at all, but when I hit the button to test the sound it tells me that the audio test failed.

Sound outside of wine works fine.

Has anyone else had trouble with this?

See sticky about pulseaudio.

I did read that. So far as I can see there isn't anything related to pulseaudio running. There aren't any init scripts that mention it either. I do have a libpulse library installed but that appears to be it.

I fixed the problem by installing the the 1.0.1 version from a debian package. It picked up alsa sound right away and worked fine. Versions 1.1.13 and 1.1.14 compiled from source didn't work though.
