No sound even without Pulse installed

[doorknob60]

I prefer to use Pulseaudio, but since apperantly I'm not allowed to do that anymore if I want to hear things out of Wine, I removed it for now. And guess what, it still doesn't work. I have two sound cards, the HDMI one in my graphics card and my regular one hooked up to the speakers, which is why I like Pulse because I can easily send different apps to different cards.

Here's my aplay -l:

Code: Select all

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

In the audio test in winecfg it just says Audio test failed no matter what is set in there, and this is what outputs in the terminal:

Code: Select all

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer

What am I supposed to do here, I want my Windows programs, but no way in hell I'm booting into Windows just because something doesn't work that's supposed to work! And I want to install Pulse back too...not that it makes any difference since Wine doesn't work either way.

And since I guess there's no editing on this forum, I'll double post all I want Anyways, just wanted to point out that Project64 and Foobar2000 also don't detect any sound cards.

Did you disable mmdevapi.dll in winecfg? You need to enable it.

I didn't do that myself, but it must have been winetricks or something, it was disabled for some reason. Removing that fixed it, thanks It seems to be working just fine now, even with Pulse

Now, is there a way to output it to my HDMI card? I can only get it to output to my normal sound card, but not to HDMI. I keep seeing this, which is probably the reason it doesnt work:

I got the same problem, but solved it a bit differently. mmdevapi.dll was not disabled on wine config, so I added a new entry, telling to use the Builtin version first.
