I have the same problem, u can fix it with wintricks. Just install a pseudopackage. Underneath u find several things of this:

sound=x where x is the sounddriver. I always fix with with choosing sound=oss

thanks but what is/are exactly your winetricks command(s)?

There u can find information about winetricks and how to get it and use it.
some linux distributions like opensuse already have winetricks when u install it with the package manager, in that case u type in console winetricks instead of sh winetricks

I get something like that on some of my audio devices too, but that can be normal as the hardware might not actually provide a mixer or volume control on purpose. If it doesn't hurt Wine's performance, just ignore it.

When I get this problem on Fedora I just install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio (the 32 bit version works best for Wine, unless you're experimenting with 64 bit Wine which doesn't do much yet).

alsa-plugins-pulseaudio contains a PCM plug-in, libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so and a mixer control, libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so, along with a replacement configuration for /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf, your basic pcm.pulse { type pulse... stuff, the same boring configuration we used to do manually when routing sound from native alsa applications through pulseaudio...

Most other distros have a similar package.
