Bug #: 29469 Summary: Audio stops working; as a result, Rosetta Stone gets stuck Product: Wine Version: 1.3.35 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winealsa.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: philbradley@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Rosetta Stone 3.4.7 teaches you a language by playing an audio clip, prompting you to answer by selecting a multiple choice option.
Randomly audio will stop functioning (testing sound in winecfg - which shows that winealsa.drv is being used - also fails - the audio that plays is clipped and random, like rocks tumbling); Rosetta Stone doesn't proceed after attempting to play a clip after this point, so the program gets stuck (it's not frozen, it just never brings up the multiple choice question).
Restarting my computer (Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bit) solves this problem, though logging out doesn't. There doesn't appear to be a specific point in Rosetta Stone at which audio breaks.
