No Sound in Wine?

[constchar*]

I was running Wine 0.9.46 compiled from sources and everything was
fine and dandy but then I decided to upgrade to Wine 0.9.47,
I did a "make uninstall" with the 0.9.46 then did the "./tools/wineinstall"
and since then I'm getting no sound in any Wine apps, including winecfg.

Selecting ALSA or OSS both result in "Audio test failed" when I click
the "Test Sound" button.

I get this output:
"fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on MPU-401 UART, disabling mixer
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported."

I should probably also note that at one point Counter-Strike: Source
made some menu sounds but after that I didn't hear anything.

Thanks for any help.

If you are referring to the test sound button in winecfg, that is not functional yet. Any particular reason you compiled from source and didn't use the precompiled Ubuntu package?

Every time I've used the "Test Sound" button it's always made a
type of a drum sound (not sure how else to explain the sound).

I wasn't aware the precompileds were up to date with the latest version so I'll check that out.

I switched over to the binaries and even then I still get the same problem,
failed audio test and no audio from any Windows applications.

The only sound driver that works is EsounD but that outputs
laggy sound and sometimes it's cracky and poppy.

Ah, nvm, I was thinking of the Control Panel button, not the test sound button.

Does sound work through ALSA in any native apps?

[constchar*]

Yes, including KDE and VideoLAN which I use frequently.
I should probably note I'm using Feisty Fawn and haven't
upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon yet although the update manager is ready
to run the update but I'm not sure if I want to do that just yet.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem. When I try to run a game i get a message saying there will be no voice or sound since the system does not support DirectSound. (Code = 1.0).

Installed WINE via Synaptic, everything else seems to be fine with it.

Any suggestions would be great!

I've had the same problem, but I did a sound test, and it appeared to be working, so I don't really know.

I have a similar problem, I've never had sound working in Wine.

I've gone on the audio tab in winecfg, not matter what driver I select (ALSA, OSS, JACK, NAS) or level of Hardware acceleration I get an error when I click on Test Sound (Audio Test Failed). I have checked and unchecked Driver Emulation. Are there any logs I can view to see what the error is?

I've never had problems with the sound in any other application, besides the mic not working in Ubuntu and midi being garbled in Hydrogen.

I've got a Dell Inspiron 6400.

Thanks

As I posted over here:

Great news! I got it working!

What I did is using the latest binaries from http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb. So the steps to take are:

• Add the repository to Ubuntu:
• wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
  
  
• For Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10):
  sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/...t.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
  
  
• For Ubuntu Feisty (7.04):
  sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/....d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
  
  
  And at last, install or upgrade Wine:
• If you don't have Wine installed yet:
  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
  
  
• If you have Wine already installed:
  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

That's it
