Summary: wine and alsa do not work Product: Wine Version: 0.9.19. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: kain@teamclerks.net
Winecfg usually breaks upon selecting ALSA under the sounds tab. Additionally, if one DOES get winecfg to accept ALSA under the sounds tab, all half-life games (and mods) will not load. They will have the steam loading screen appear, disappear, and then the screen will be resized (if necessary) and no game will appear, but it will be active. You can alt-tab between them, but there will never be any graphics or sound output from the game. Hence, the only way to end the game is to kill the Steam.exe.
