http://askubuntu.com – 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. (HowTos)

Stories similar to World of Warcraft with wine disabling sound output for other programs

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.

sound card issue 3 years 14 weeks ago

Hi guys, I'm not sure im posting this in the right place or not. Im a world of warcraft player and i need to use Mangler in place of vent. I installed Mangler and one of its requirements was pulse-audio. I installed pulse-audio everything worked great except i couldn't get sound out of wow if i started mangler first and vice-versa. I then found a version of Mangler that worked with alsa.

Background: So through some messing around or some sort that I've done with my audio, I've found that some programs are set to use my built-in audio, and others are set to use my sound card.

Bad sound in wine 1 year 33 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.

ALSA error in Wine/PyLotRO 3 years 26 weeks ago

I have been working on getting Dungeons and Dragons online working with Wine, and I have the game working perfectly except there is no sound. I am using a program called PyLotRO that works along side Wine to help log in to the servers. I get a few errors in the log box that pops up for PyLotRO which I believe is showing the output from wine, but I am not positive. The errors are below:

intel_do_flush_locked error 1 year 8 weeks ago

Exactly what it says on the tin.I've been encountering this error lately, especially when I try to run stuff with Wine. Doesn't matter if it's older stuff (RPG Maker games) or newer (World of Warcraft) ...

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.

Hi, Everyone...

I looked around quite a bit before posting this issue in Wine regarding static, popping, and crackling in Windows games sound, which, prior to my very recent installation of 12.10 (upgraded from 12.04), ran beautifully all the way around.

The WINE configuration window no longer allows a switch to another sound option (alsa); also, winetricks (at least when I select sound=option)

WINE Audio Issues 40 weeks 4 days 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.
