[Alsa-user] Help request: Wine + alsa on 64-bit Fedora 12

From: Walker S. <wal...@gm...> - 2010-04-07 15:16:49

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with alsa on wine.  I'm posting this to both
lists--I'm sure that there exist people on both ends who might be able
to help. Basically this is it: neither alsa nor oss show up in winecfg.
The wine-alsa and wine-oss packages are installed.  I have a feeling
it's due to 32/64-bitness problems.  I'm already having to run all wine
apps as wine32 whatever to get sound at all--the 64-bit winecfg crashes
when the audio tab is selected.  In the 32-bit, pulse is the only
available driver that shows up, but it crashes after a minute or two of
use with an app run through wine.

So question is this: is there an easy way to make alsa or oss show up
in wine32 winecfg in Fedora 12 64-bit?  Or am I better off switching
completely to a 32-bit installation (which I'm also considering for
other reasons.)

Other possible problem causers are that I'm using the Planet CCRMA
kernel, and I have 3 sound cards, but I figure these should only cause
problems between alsa and hardware (and they have, and I've
fixed/workedaround them), not between wine and alsa.

Thanks,
Walker

Hi Walker,

You didn't mention your desktop. In my recent wine problem the desktop 
was significant.

I'm not an expert here, but I just went thru a 32bit openSuse 11.2/wine 
matter. My post here went unanswered, but on my own, I did get winecfg > 
audio to work.

In the gnome desktop, pulse audio and wine seemed to conflict. After I 
uninstalled pulse audio in gnome, winecfg would execute without hanging 
up. They way I did my uninstall, I lost the gnome volume control.

I loaded kmix and that brought in a bunch of kde, so I started over and 
just installed the kde4.3.1 on my install DVD. I avoided installing any 
pulseaudio.

winecfg with kde4.3.1 worked without having to touch it. My use of wine 
is just to play some Win98 games and they play fine now.

Good luck with your problem! Frank K

Hey, thanks.  Actually the wine list just solved it for me.  Basically,
64-bit wine isn't useable yet.  Reinstalling it as 32-bit fixed it.
Now I just have to pray that my .asoundrc works right even when
Ventrilo is involved...

I know this is off topic, but have you looked at mangler? Their newest SVN
releases have a non pulse audio option.
