Please attach a log as described at http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound

FWIW, works fine here (32-bit gentoo, alsa, no pulse).

Do you have winetricks xact installed? I had installed it earlier to get music
in New Vegas and Skyrim might also require xact.

Does not work here either. Gentoo, 64 bit, OSS4. Tried with both wineoss.drv
and winealsa.drv.

Installing xact didn’t help.

There is some kind of ”low” constant noise which may imply that it’s actually
trying to play the audio, but failing to decode it correctly for some reason. I
think I’ve heard that before too, but then Wine had proper audio configuration
thingys I were able to fix it.

Is this trace correct? Open of the game, waiting few seconds in the menu and
closing it down.

I had the problem as well, there is an easy way to fix it.
Just install the DirectX version from the Skyrim directory.

wine DirectX10/DXSETUP.exe

It will take a moment, but the sound should be enabled afterwards.

Enjoy the game :)

Sorry for multiposting (again), but the low noises I mentioned earlier didn’t
disappear. So those aren’t related to audio not working... I guess.

And again...

I guess it is something completely unrelated, Skyrim just is making it much
higher than normal level. (clearly hearable, normally can’t exactly recognize
behind any sound or hear at all)

For a record, when I switch to another window (in KDE), there is some really
slow noise that gets louder for a period of changing. Almost like the noise
from microphone. But I don’t have any microphone plugged in. Also completely
muting out OSS4’s switches doesn’t help the problem.

Skyrim frequently crashes for me, until i delete logo video. In win7 mode sound
plays with noise on any freq and other sound settings, but in XP mode sound was
normal. Looks like X3DAudio ignore some settings in Win7, or works incorrect

Wine 1.3.34. All works. No GStreamer, no PulseAudio, and OpenAL was compiled by
myself from source code (libopenal.so.1 from my Linux distribution works bad
with Wine and UT2004). "Windows 7" mode. And I see video intro. But quality of
sound is bad for all game. It is low volume and distortion when maximum volume
in the game settings. 2 or 3 error strings of ALSA PCM C-code file in console.

not yet fixed in wine 1.3.36
Audio stops working after logo video.
Removing the logo video doesn't fix it.

I'm currently able to run the game, but no sound, none at all.  Installed it
via steam.

I'm running wine in windows 7 mode with alsa as the choosen driver.
I'm using pulseaudio
I have d3dx9_42, vcrun2008, and xact installed via winetricks.  
I also executed the line "wine DirectX10/DXSETUP.exe" from within the skyrim
directory.  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim" and the
gui end of it tells me everything installs fine, but I get this in the command
line, "err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144" and it just
repeats about 30 times then returns to the prompt and I am able to go about my
business.

I did rename "BGS_Logo.bik" "BGS_Logo(renamed).bik"

If this is something else I'm sorry for posting here, but help would be great.

I just upgraded to wine 1.3 and skyrim works very well. I think it broke other
programs I have, but I'll look at that later.  However, I still can't run it on
anything but low settings even though I have a 3.1 ghz 6 core processor and 16
gb of ram, and a fairly good gpu (can't remember the model, I'm at work).  That
is not part of this bug however so don't respond about that issue on here.

On a side note it looks fairly good on low settings so I'm content.

Did not need xact, swapping modes worked, left video alone.
Did notice:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:236:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

File does exist and is readable.
No problems with sound outside of Wine, or with winecfg sound test.
Could this apply to other Steam games? Steam currently detects Wine.
Could also be Pulseaudio interaction???

Arch Linux x86_64
Wine 1.5.22 no patches
Pulseaudio 3.0
libALSA 32/64 1.0.26
kernel 3.8

Is this still an issue in current (1.7.36 or newer) wine? If so, please attach

I've never seen this problem, and I've been playing Skyrim for months in XP
mode. This is with PulseAudio, alsa-plugins, winealsa driver (no winepulse), in
a clean 32 bit wineprefix.

No response from anyone who claims to have been affected by this, and the OR
hasn't been heard from in almost 4 years. Many of the comments in this bug are
unrelated to the reported problem.

I've never encountered this issue. Marking WORKSFORME. Reopen if this is still
an issue and you are willing and able to respond to requests for information.

This bug is about no sound in XP mode, but sound working when set to Windows 7.
Is that the case for you?

Don't say that if it doesn't work in either XP or Win 7 then it's "not this
bug". You DO NOT know.

My Skyrim sound always worked, until few weeks ago when I last played, now I
played again and have the exact same thing happening: Intro video does have
sou8nd, but nothing afterwards. Reinstalling DirectX did not help. I tried
several other things suggested all over the net, nothing forks. And it used to
work! I run it in XP mode as always, if I set it to Win 7 mode, then Steam and
Skyrim both produce tons of errors.

So if anyone have any suggestions or relevant info, let me know.

Yes, we do. This bug was one that it worked in XP but not 7. If it doesn't work
in either one, it's a different issue.

File a new bug. Which you already did (bug 39517). Don't post in old/different
bugs (especially that are closed).
