Hello guys.
I've had a problem for a week already, and ive tried #winehq but they told me to suscribe to winedevel list so here i am. The problem is with sound support.
Ive been able to make counter-strike (half-life game mod) run perfectly on my system, i have network support, opengl support and it all works perfectly ...still, i have no sound.
(forgot to say that no sound in ANY applications i run besides this game)
I have no previous windows installation, so i grabbed a system.ini file from a working windows 98 system.
I also copied all mci* files from a working Windows installation in order to fix my problem but it seems it did not work.
I have ALSA installed in a 2.4 kernel (soon 2.4.12). The errors the game prompts me are all about not being able to use the MCI system for playback ( i believe that means the mci wave driver for playing wav files ).
Another weird thing is that THERE IS some sound while browsing the game menus (whenever i click in any menu option ) once i accept the error messages. Still, when the real thing starts its all muted.
A strange thing i noticed is that my ~/.wine/config file didnt have any mci files in any of its config tags, but other people did, so i added them. using the native and builting options:
"mcicda.drv" = "builtin, native" "mciseq.drv" = "builtin, native" "mciwave.drv" = "builtin, native" "mciavi.drv" = "native, builtin" "mcianim.drv" = "native, builtin"
Yes, in my override tag.
So, im no wine expert at all, but it seems Wine isnt using *at all* my windows 98 mci drivers located in wines c:\windows\system directory.
Please, id rather need instant help, the linux gamers require gamming hours daily.
Btw, ive downloaded the last source targz file from your site, and i was unable to make Winsock support work at all, ive heard of another guy that had the same problem, so i made him download the previous one and worked as it did for me too. Please check that out.
