No sound in some games in wine

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I've been having problems with getting sound to work with two out of three of my games that I have installed with steam on wine. I've installed Borderlands 2, Dead Island, and Portal 2. Borderlands 2 works flawlessly and sound is great. However, Dead Island and Portal 2, do not have sound. Although the graphics, and the game play is fine, there is no sound. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit with Wine version 1.5.19. Under audio tab in winecfg, the selected driver is winepulse.drv, and the output device is set to system default. When I click test sound, there is a 2 or 3 second delay bef (Hardware)

Bad sound in wine 1 year 29 weeks ago

At first everything was working perfectly, but then after 10 minutes I got a bad sound. I still get the bad sound and it's not localized to a specific application it's also in the wine test sound function.

wine version: wine-1.3.31

I have the winealsa driver. It's a new interface and all the old fixes doesn't work.

When I run WoW in wine the sound works only if no other sound is working at the moment. If I have a song playin in rhythmbox or sound playin in Vent the Wow sound won't work and after awhile I'm thinkin Vent ends up having errors because of this.

Wine and Pulseaudio 39 weeks 20 min ago

So, I realize this isn't exactly the only Wine and Pulseaudio problem thread out there. I've looked around and seen a few others and tried other solutions with no luck so far. My issue is that I simply have no sound.

This problem seems to be opposite of any other wine sound problems, sound works beautifully in World of Warcraft under wine, but it remove all audio output for other programs such as Mangler and the system sound test program. I have tried starting programs before and after WoW to see if that will make the audio work but that doesn't help, I'm all out of ideas.

im sorry i also posted this in the wine section but it told me to post it here as well..

i am trying to play an old backyard baseball game using wine, and it opens really good, then i get to a point where an error comes up saying no sound card detected. so then i click on the wine glass up top and go to configuration, then to the audio tab, then it says clear as day, Selected driver: (None).

Hey all, I'm having a problem with getting sound to work in Champions Online under Wine.

i am trying to play an old backyard baseball game using wine, and it opens really good, then i get to a point where an error comes up saying no sound card detected. so then i click on the wine glass up top and go to configuration, then to the audio tab, then it says clear as day, Selected driver: (None). How do i select a driver? its the last step to letting me play this game.

I'm trying to run Starcraft through Wine. The sound is all distorted, as if it were playing underwater. Then, about 10 minutes into the game the sound is perfect for 1-2 seconds. Then, there's no sound at all.

I have another sound issue which might give a hint. If I'm playing a video on YouTube, and I open vlc to play a movie, the movie will have no sound.

WINE Audio Issues 36 weeks 7 hours ago

I recently reinstalled WINE, and immediately noticed severe issues with it. Specifically the audio. I tried playing Fallout: New Vegas, and found that the audio was very weird sounding. It sounded like a scratchy and sped up version of what it should sound like. When Doc Mitchell talks at the beginning, his voice sounds pretty ok, but it's also sped up.
