First of all I'd like to say this: I hope not to infuriate anyone with this help request, the reason I say this is that I use playonlinux.
That said, I'm on a debian sid system, as mentioned I use pol to install games.
My issue is audio related, when I use wine no other program is capable of using audio.
Funny enough, wine usually wake up and play a notification sound whenever I close whatever I'm running with POL.
I did ask on the pol forum, I've been told that the problem is either distro or wine related. I also asked on the debian sid irc channel where I was told the problem is not on debian's side.
If anyone can give me any help I would be really grateful.
If you can't, thank you anyway for taking time to read my post.
No sound in other programs when running wine
Re: No sound in other programs when running wine
Wine relies on the host system for audio mixing. If your system doesn't support hardware mixing, you need software (Pulseaudio, dmix) to handle it.

Silly me, sorry, I forgot to mention that I do have pulseaudio.
Re: No sound in other programs when running wine
There's another thread active right now from another Debian user who has the same problem. http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21133
As with that thread, my first guess would be that you are missing one or more of Wine's audio dependencies, probably the 32 bit ones. If that's not it, take a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound for more detailed instructions on troubleshooting the issue.
