Counter Strike: Source. Crashes upon joining game.

[000dom000]

Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.60.

I have got loads of steam apps to run including team fortress 2. However, when I join a game in Counter Strike: Source, as soon as I get to the team select, it freezes up, with the gunshot sounds repeating.

It then simply closes.

I looked on appdb and the main causes are alsa sound, and to make sure only alsa sound is selected in winecfg. I also disabled in game community in steam.

Here is what I get when running steam in terminal and then CounterStrike : Source crashing when I join a game.

Thanks for any help!

Did you kill pulseaudio? It condflicts with most programs using ALSA/OSS. Wine is one of those programs.

I will try this when I get home.
Do you know if Wine will ever support pulseaudio?
I found a post on the Ubuntu website about workarounds for applications which conflict with pulseaudio and Wine is one of them.

Apparently the trick is to set sound to OSS and run Wine with "padsp" so that sound is routed through pulseaudio.
Anyway I will try this later and let you know
Thanks

ok well I am back now and I attempted to do "killall pulseaudio" and then start CS:S. I got the same problem as before. I also tried changing winecfg to OSS and routing through pulseaudio, and it hangs on starting the actual game. I don't think it should be to do with audio because I can play other games such as team fortress 2 so there can't be anything running with pulseaudio that is conflicting with Wine.

I noticed that I can play for a couple of seconds on certain maps, so could it be to do with the 3D rendering? My hardware is definitely capable of playing the game as I have played before in Ubuntu 7.10.
