I tried that. It didn't change anything. I'm having exactly the same problem except for I'm trying to run Starcraft 1. The game doesn't detect any audio sources so it has no sound or sound options. I cannot select a driver and I'm running version 1.4.1 of Wine that i've just installed today.

Any help please?

Hey thanks for replying! I got it from

http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ (i'm guessing that is the wrong place to get it from?)

I also cannot get Starcraft to connect when selecting the IPX-based LAN option. (Separate issue...)

I get the "unable to initialize network provider" error. Is there a fix for this for Macs? Can I fake IPX in Wine? Or should I do the direct cable connection option that is also available? I keep seeing solutions for Linux but cannot figure how they apply to Mac. I'm an intermediate user.. so I can't completely understand everything I read for solutions.

WineBottler and other 3rd party programs that use Wine are not supported here... this is for plain Wine support only... its basically impossible to support every piece of software out there that happens to use Wine with who knows what interface or modifications.

I'm using WINE. NOT WINEBOTTLER. I'm Using wine 1.4.1. It was downloaded WITH WineBottler.

I'm using Wine and it does not detect any sound drivers. I get the same Audio config window that is shown by the original poster above.

I also resolved the IPX issue.

I need wine to accept my mac's core audio as its driver. How do I do this?

Also, when I go into Regedit, there is no "Drivers" key in the registry.

The only things I find under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\
are
Crypto, Debug, DLLOverrides, Explorer, FileOpenAssociations, Fonts, MenuFiles, MSHTML, Temporary System Parameters, WineDbg, X11 Driver. There is no "Drivers" key.

So I tried creating one with the following strings:

[Drivers]
"Audio"="coreaudio"
"Graphics"="x11"
"(Default)"="coreaudio"

Default cannot be deleted. But the value can be modified. I tried setting it to "coreaudio" but it doesn't work.

Nothing is currently working still.

Hi,

the official policy at winehq is to not support third party wrappers, it doesn't matter, if the wrapper is installing a patched or completely unchanged wine. See sticky post above. Even if the wrapper doesn't change wine itself, it usually has different folders, (non-wine related) configs etc. Unfortunately for winebottler there isn't real support at all, for wineskin and playonmac there are at least some forums.

Just to make sure, that you are not running into an obvious issue, read http://mike.kronenberg.org/ , older Mac OSX versions don't seem to get audio support anymore.

This is always a source of confusion for people because of a bad naming decision...

Wine.app that comes with WineBottler is not normal Wine... it is part of WineBottler, and it is not supported here.

Normal Wine on Mac OS X has no GUI part, you have to build it yourself and run it all command line. That is easiest to do using Macports which will do all the building for you easy, but then when its done its still all command line usage.

Its not that people here don't want to help you, it just not possible to keep up with all the differences in every program that uses Wine. WineBottler, Wineskin, PlayOnMac, Crossover, etc... all Mac programs that use Wine have their own avenue of support, and you should ask them... if you need help for plain Wine (not WineBottler's Wine.app), then this is the right forum.

thank you for your response. I tried to contact the developer. I guess that's all I can do now.

You could also try normal Wine... or Crossover, or Wineskin, or PlayOnMac, etc...
