------- Additional Comments From Speeddymon@gmail.com 2006-30-03 15:13 ------- Even if ESD is deprecated, you are still having a problem when just running it with ALSA, or are you saying this isnt a problem anymore since you upgraded to dapper?
Have you tried setting wine to use ALSA, and then making sure that no other sound server (like arts or esd or jack) was using the sound device, and then running wine?
If not, please try, and let us know the outcome.
