Sees only 1 of 2 sound cards

Post by Branta »

Linux Mint 13

I have 2 sound cards in my AMD 64. The Audiology card is connected to my speakers; it works fine. The VIA card is connected to my amateur radio AF in and out. It does not work . . . it works fine with Linux programs that allow for sound card selection.

Configure Wine--> Audio, lists at both Input device and Output device, System Default AND Pulseaudio, neither of which connects to the VIA card.

What do I do to connect to the VIA sound card?

Hi,

there's a really old bug report describing the same issue: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9870 . Obviously multiple sound cards aren't well supported under wine. Is the VIA card on your motherboard or some kind of external usb device?

Would something like
ALSA_PCM_CARD=2 wine app.exe
work? You may need to play around with the number (2 in that example), replace it with 1 or 3.
Due to the age of the bug report I almost doubt it that it would work, but might be worth a try.

You didn't say what version of Wine you're using or whether you built it yourself, but if you are using the Ubuntu wine package for 12.04, that package includes the unofficial winepulse driver as well as other changes to dsound that are not supported here. If that is the case, you need to ask for help on the Ubuntu forum for any sound-related issues.

I am using Wine 1.5.4. I have set the repository to update Wine weekly to the latest beta.

The current development release is 1.5.14. If that's not a typo, you are not using current Wine.

In any case, since you are using the Ubuntu packages, you need to get help with any sound issues from Ubuntu.

It was a typo. I am using Wine 1.5.14.

I will ask the Mint Linux forum, my distributions. Mint's forum is better than Ubuntu's.
