When I run aoss winecfg and use the test sound option, I hear sound. When I run aoss wine Steam.exe however, there is no sound at all. No sound is in any game either. I am running Wine 1.2 in Debian Squeeze (32bit). Has anyone come across this issue and resolved it?
aoss is used to run applications only using OSS through ALSA, as a type of emulation. Wine can do ALSA (set it up in winecfg), so don't use aoss, you don't need it and it will probably (partially or fully) break audio in Wine.
