Terminal output when I play WoW

When I play World of warcraft WotLK in wine I get no sound. Lemmings Revolution
has sound in wine (only other game I use in wine). 
Computer stats are: amd athlon 64 x2 4200+ , [ALC655 integrated sound device or
Sound Blaster Live PCI] Attaching terminal output.
Will add WTF.conf configuration file.

Are you using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)? Also, if you are do you have the ALSA
audio driver set in winecfg? Does sound work in other programs (e.g. flash in
Firefox).

If these are true, you may be hitting an issue with the latest Ubuntu and/or
wine.

Some things you could try are:
  1.  Set the audio driver in winecfg to OSS.
  2.  Run "sudo alsactl init" - you may need to run alsamixer or another volume
control program to increase the volume of the audio afterwards.
  3.  Run "sudo alsa reset", then follow (2).
  4.  Google "ubuntu intrepid no sound" for other suggestions.

Does that work for you?

If not, it could be bug 15559 (winealsa sound regression: scratchiness/stutter
in multip...) and the related bug 16015 (Cepstral SwiftTalker hangs when
rendering text to audio).

Already doing that.

Is this a typo?   sudo alsactl init gets me "alsactl: Unknown command
'init'..."
> - Run "sudo alsa reset", then follow (2).

I must be using a different type of alsa then you are familiar with.
"Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}"
So I reloaded, no effect

I will check these bugs. Thanks for your help so far.
No dice yet.

No. If you run "alsactl --help" you ahould see:
  init    <card #> initialize driver to a default state
in the "Available commands:" section.

If not you could try "sudo apt-get install alsa-utils"; other than that I don't
know where the 'init' command comes from.

No, I mean't 'reload'.

I have found
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246800/comments/22 (no
sound in intrepid) which I tried on my Intrepid (Gnome) install which worked.
However, note that for me I had wider sound issues.

Since this issue appears to be restricted to Wine, then it may be another
regression from the code change found in bug 15559. If you can, could you try
WoW on Wine 1.1.5 (should be good) and 1.1.6 (should have the issue you are
facing).

You can run a http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting to be sure. The
regression test will help Wine developers know exactly what caused the
regression.

Hello, just a quick thing to try from me. Pulse is not supported by wine, so
before you start WoW try the command "pkill pulseaudio" in the console. It
fixed my terrible stuttering, so it might help your sound.

If not, good luck trying elsewhere :)

Has this been fixed? I don't have problems running wine apps with pulseaudio
(including wow). No stuttering, no sound loss. The only crashes are pulseaudio
bugs.

Probably fixed, but there has been no reply to this bug in over 5 months. I am
aware of a related bug where pulseaudio falls silent entirely, but this isn't
caused by wine and all pulseaudio apps are affected.
