|
|
I'm running Gentoo 1.4, WineX(20020807-r1 ebuild), KDE 3.04, and the builtin Kernel(OSS) sound. I'm running 2 windows apps(Xnews and WinMX) thru WineX. Whenever I open up WineX it locks up the sound driver(looks like I don't even have a sound card in the system) and won't release it even if I close down WineX. If worse comes to worse I guess I don't care if WineX ever has any sound but I don't want it to lock it up the way it is now because if I want to play music while WineX is open(or was opened and I closed it earlier) then I'm out of luck. I already tried to put the 'wineoss.drv' in the DLL Overrides section of the config file. I also tried commenting all the Multimedia stuff in the 'WinMM' section of the config file. |

Every day I learn a new thing about Gentoo. I found a newer ebuild of WineX in /usr/portage/ and the only reason it was masked was for testing purposes. I installed it and I got my sound back, live and learn.. |

I suspect your sound problem relates to wine processes persisting longer than they should. When a windows app dies a horrible death, and even sometimes when it seems to exit normally, there are often wine processes still running. You can find out by typing:
If there are processes listed with wine in the executable name, they should probably be killed. I usually kill them like this:
Code: | killall /usr/lib/winex/bin/wine |
However, you may have to use a different executable name depending on the exact location of wine or winex. If you found a newer version of wine fixed the problem, that's great, but I suspect you'll encounter it again. |
