--- Comment #2 from Reece Dunn msclrhd@gmail.com 2008-11-19 17:19:47 --- Are you using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)? Also, if you are do you have the ALSA audio driver set in winecfg? Does sound work in other programs (e.g. flash in Firefox).
If these are true, you may be hitting an issue with the latest Ubuntu and/or wine.
Some things you could try are: 1. Set the audio driver in winecfg to OSS. 2. Run "sudo alsactl init" - you may need to run alsamixer or another volume control program to increase the volume of the audio afterwards. 3. Run "sudo alsa reset", then follow (2). 4. Google "ubuntu intrepid no sound" for other suggestions.
Does that work for you?
If not, it could be bug 15559 (winealsa sound regression: scratchiness/stutter in multip...) and the related bug 16015 (Cepstral SwiftTalker hangs when rendering text to audio).
