--- Comment #27 from Benjamin Hodgetts ben@xnode.org 2011-08-24 05:00:46 CDT --- I've not encountered this issue again on any of my 4 machines, two of them have their default soundcards overridden via asound.conf (due to selecting the wrong audio device by default) and Wine still works without problems. Also no issues using a different audio-device in PulseAudio either.
Is anyone else still encountering "no sound" issues where the device they are trying to use is the device they have configured to be the default in ALSA?
