Sound always disabled in AoE II: AoK

[CapriKornus]

Hi all!
First my system info:
Wine version: 1.3.28
OS: Ubuntu 11.10
Graphics: Mobile Intel GMA X3100

The problem basically is that I am getting no sound when I play AoE II: AoK. The game starts and works otherwise fine, except for the sound bit.

When I look in the game's Options menu, both Sound Volume and Music Volume sliders are down and it shows Off. I can move the sliders up, but it neither starts the sounds, nor does it save the setting.

I followed the instructions given here and here, but no luck.

I am not really confident enough to try anything I find on the internet, so any help I receive here will be much appreciated. Thanks!

P.S: There was an issue with the screen flickering through colors, but I managed to fix it using:

Code: Select all

DirectDrawRenderer=gdi

in Winetricks ==> Default Wineprefix ==> Change settings.

Ok this is weird. I was looking around on my own and found this.

There is no Driver Selection box in Wine Configuration ==> Audio tab. Only the Direct Sound box is present. Does this have something to do with why I can't get audio?

Here are a couple of screenshots:
1. AoE Options screen:



2. Wine Audio Config screen:



Hope that helps.

Thanks, that worked. I was unsure whether to upgrade to a version that's not in the official repo, especially when it was still in dev. Glad to have done it now though.

Also, any suggestion how to run the game in full screen mode as opposed to in a window?
