Wine + EeePC = Audio Problem

[eke]

(New User Warning)

When I type “wine filename.exe”
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f4fc,0x00000000), stub!
err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised

Also winecfg error on Audio Tab:
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

ANY HELP? Should I reninstall/update drivers and how?

Hi!

(New User Warning)

When I type “wine filename.exe”
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f4fc,0x00000000), stub!
err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised

The other two messages are not bound to the first one, they are not sound related. I'm often
seeing them, you can ignore them.

Also winecfg error on Audio Tab:
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

This is the same msg as in the first case.
It means that in the Eee's kernel, there is not the MIDI sequencer support compiled in.
You will not be able to play MIDI files (from wine as well as from Linux itself). However,
normal (wave-based) sound will probably work.

ANY HELP? Should I reninstall/update drivers and how?

Please consult Asus Eee's manual/mailing lists/newsgroups.

Thanks for your response. I can't tell which errors are important and which aren't.

I couldn't even tell what the error meant! As for EeePC's ability to play midis, I will continue to try to figure it out. Asus doesn't have the best resources, but I also posted a similar message on an eeeforum. Thanks again.
