Summary: winecfg: audio settings don't take effect until winecfg is closed Product: Wine Version: 1.3.26 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com
Start up winecfg, and test your sound. Assuming it works, pick some broken settings (e.g., OSS instead of alsa for me). Test sound, still works. Close winecfg, restart it. Test sound, test will fail. Enabling ALSA at this point won't fix sound until winecfg is restarted.
Makes sound testing a bit annoying, especially if you don't know to do it :).
