this looks like a broken sound config on your system, not related to copy protection.
There might be wine-pulse related settings in registry doing harm here (there were some changes in the past).
Ensure you're running the latest/greatest Wine-1.4rcX. Don't reuse the WINEPREFIX from previous Wine versions.
Again: please install the game in a clean WINEPREFIX with _recent_ Wine.
