    I'm running the most recent Debian unstable wine package on a purely

That is, the initial window comes up (where you decide whether to play, 
or evaluate, etc.) In this window sound works perfectly. However, inside 
the game, there is no sound. The video seems to work perfectly well. If 

Are you sure that your sound is set up correctly?  Are you sure it's
compatable with wine's implementation of DirectSound?  And have you any
debug logs, or have you contacted wine-devel?  Try looking for
information on logging in programs on wine; it involves using the
command line (i.e. xterm) to run wine.

I have now been able to look at some errors. It appears that there is a
problem with mci. I put a post out asking about this that I'll quote
here:

"fixme:mci:MCI_LoadMciDriver Couldn't load driver for type MUSIC.

If you don't have a windows installation accessible from Wine,

you perhaps forgot to create a [mci] section in system.ini

OK,

1. Where is system.ini?

2. What do I put there?
"

I have tried playing with the config file. It was not happy when I
switched to the alsa driver. Also, I have cludged together a fake
system.ini that did not help. I noticed that there are several
mci*.drv's that are absent in fake_windows, yet present in a w98
installation. Are these works in progress?

  BTW, Are these games known to work on any prior setups (i.e. older
kernels or older wines)?  And can you give us an exact dated version,
since debian and wine just released new packages?  You can run "dpkg -l
| grep 'wine'" (or use "dpkg -l | less" or "dpkg -l | more" and hand
search for wine) and look for your installed version of wine, it's
usually a date like 20040813 followed by some things.

No, I have not had success previously with these games. Here is the
information on 

the deb packages. As you can see even unstable is now one month behind
winehq.

theory/home/edwardsa>dpkg -l | grep wine

ii  libwine        0.0.20040716-1 Windows Emulator (Library)

ii  wine-doc       0.0.20040615-1 Windows Emulator (Documentation)

  You can also consider going to www.winehq.com and installing from
source, or manaully building a custom deb from source... look on google
for how to do the latter.

    anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
