And much more stuff... Maybe i should compile wine without alsa support?

I had the same problem back with my old laptop when I tried to configure the sound under wine to alsa. Then if I wanted to change it the configurato crashed with a debugger output. It seems that wine doesn't still support alsa perfectly because my system was correctly setup to alsa.

I made it work by deleting the wine configuration directory (it was the fastest way since I didn't put there any data yet) and then configured the output to arts (which used alsa). After this the sound worked however in it made graphic performance drop to about a half.

The other option is to play with configuration files however that may (and probably will) take some time.

[Darknight]

Unfortunately even deleting the configuration didn't improve things.
I try to open the sound tab as the first thing I do when I start winecfg but it always crashes.
Maybe I should just leave it be? What's the default configuration? Oss?
I have mapped oss emulation via alsa in my system, so oss should really use alsa anyway. Could this be the reason for the crashes, or rather could save the day, if oss is the default for wine?

[Darknight]

I forgot to mention that I tried to look in config files for a clue but I'm confused about documentation and what I read in forums: is the config file still used or is the entire configuration stored in the fake windows registry?

[Dr.Black.85]

Sorry it took me so long. I was taking exams from database systems and it took longer then I expected.

With wine configuration. In newer versions it seems that everything is stored in fake registries (or at least it looks like that). I think the default conf should be OSS (with alsa in my make.conf). However it seems that there is no way to know it for sure.

In wine I know that when it was configured to OSS sound in some appliactions didn't work (have no idea why) with words that soundcard is not present. In some programs the sound worked quite fine.

And I don't hink that mapping through OSS to ALSA would cause problems. At least not in my case where it was crashing when it was set to direct use of ALSA.

[pblinux]

I sidestepped this sound tab crash in winecfg with the following workaround:

mv /usr/lib/wine/winearts.drv.so /usr/lib/wine/winearts.drv.so~

[Darknight]

Confirmed!

[Darknight]

One last thing: once you have successfully opened the tab once, you can move the library file back in place, it will work.
