The non-working feature is a bug.
that's what I thought. is this bug fixed?
Nope - and you know it as that's the reason you came here seeking for support.
Helping *you* to get it working on *your* machine anyway is a support question beyond the scope of bugzilla.
well, the bug being fixed and the feature working are two events that occur exactly at the same time.
You would get sound working in your favourite app as soon as Wine would implement required XACT-related libs. But I bet this is not what you're seeking for right now as implementing XACT in Wine is not something that is going to happen in a next few days. Dan is precisely correct on support questions being outside the scope of bugzilla but as there are a lot of other people suffering from this problem and their tendency to seek for help in bugzilla here is what to try to workaround this bug:
# winetricks xact_jun2010
If above won't help - manually download and unpack latest DirectX runtime redist from MS site, seek for files named similar to DLLs the game fails to find and unpack required libraries from these files using cabextract tool. Keep in mind that most likely you should own a Windows license to be safe of a legal side doing like this.
