Hi.
Counter Strike : Source works very well here, it's awesome.
But my microphone doesn't want to work. I saw on the AppDB's CS:S page that with the new OSS it seems to work, but I use alsa...

I really need the mic., but don't know what can I do..

Anyone ?

You probably need to disable pulseaudio, at least temporarily.
Here's what I do.

sh winetricks sound=alsa

edit /etc/pulse/client.conf
change:
# autospawn=yes
to
autospawn=no

Then in your startup preferences, uncheck pulseaudio. Or, alternately, just run the following in terminal after you boot up.

killall pulseaudio

That should do it.

I think I don't have to disable pulseaudio, because I use alsa and pulseaudio is not installed..

Hi,

I also have the same problem, I tried wine with alsa, oss and I tried to jack. I tried really everything here. My microphone works perfectly with Skype and other applications such as audio recorders, but in CS: S (counter-strike source) it crashed on the first day of use.

I use Arch Linux but the same happened with Debian Lenny.
On the first day and everything works the mic (perfect!!) Hours later, adding some packages they stop working. Can not even begin testing the mic CS: S

I tried to finalize the pulseaudio
killall pulseaudio
Wine and use only alsa (same setup I used the first day) and nothing ...

Already tested the cedega and crossover games without sucessso, it's the same problem.
Please help me, I really need the microphone working.
Otherwise the wine is nota 1000, perfect!

FPS stable and running well.

FPS stable and running well.

thanks!

I solved the problem based on this tip ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio

As I had already installed pulseaudio ... I just installed the pulseaudio-mixer-applet to monitor the pulseaudio and created the file .asoundrc with:
nano ~/.asoundrc or vi ~/.asoundrc or gedit ~/.asoundrc

with the following content...

Code: Select all

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

Wine works perfectly now the microphone

Wine version = 1.3.4
Arch Linux i686 + gnome 2.32.0

thanks!
