As bug 22880 has been marked a duplicate, the missing sounds are still a problem with Wine version 1.3.8 and I can confirm games like Chips Challenge and Lemmix have sounds missing. The missing sounds do play when these games are opened in Windows XP (32-bit Windows, as 64-bit versions of Windows won't run Chips Challenge because it's 16-bit).
bug#25633
chips challenge use 11025Hz mono 8bit wave file for the sound effects, winealsa.drv snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time() fail when using "plughw:0,0" of the most common HDA intel driver
winealsa just report those fatal error as warning so you have to specify WINEDEBUG=+wave
winmm_test wave also fail with "hw" at 11025Hz 16bit stereo even when your HDA codec support 11025Hz
it does not fail when using "plug:dmix" or "pulse" since "dmix" force the slave pcm "hw:0,0" to use the buffer size/period size accepted by HDA intel
just change the buffer size/period size to get the sound effect
you need a wavetable snyth or software synth to hear the background music
