--- Comment #3 from zdenek.styblik@gmail.com 2011-07-24 13:03:28 CDT --- Ok now, this is really weird. I did something the link suggests. I renamed '~/.wine' and fired up % winecfg; and went for 'Audio'. I've been told there is currently no soundcard selected and the best mach was selected for me, or something like that. "Alsa" is not what I have and "Test sound" yields error message mentioned above. I've selected "OSS" yet error message on "Test sound" appeared again and, of course, no sound was played. I've closed % winecfg; and launched it again. Now, "Test sound" works, audio plays.
I'm attaching % winecfg; output. I also forgot to say this is at x86_64(Slackware64) system with compat libraries installed.
