Weird sounds while playing WoW.

Post by aydos »

Hello All,

I am using a USB Creative Fata1ity Headset and a HDMI monitor for audio. When I have the headset plugged in the audio goes there when I unplug it it goes to the monitor. That is all fine.

However, while playing WoW in WINE after a while the sound will go to this weir pinging/static/underwater/submarine sonar noise for the game and my Manger(VOIP Client) If I go to system > preferences > sound and turn the sound off and back on it works.

I saw another post by someone having WoW sound problems and it was suggested that they set WINE audio to OSS instead of ALSA and try that.

From what I can tell that works, but it makes my audio come out of my monitor and not my head set when I do that.

Does anyone know a way to either resolve the original issue or to make the audio come out of my headset when OSS is enabled in Wine?

Ubuntu 10.04 btw.
