The OSS drivers have their own problems. If I try any hardware acceleration other than "emulation", Diablo crashes with "UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: ACCESS VIOLATION". With emulation, the sound works in the intro and main menu, but often when I load my game it turns into incredibly loud static. Occasionally it works, and the sound is fine without the delay I get when using ALSA. Colin On 8/5/06, Patrick May <dusthillresident@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello, I had a similar sound problem when running Unreal in Wine. I solved the problem by using the OSS sound driver rather than the ALSA one whenever I wanted to run Unreal. Regards, - Patrick.
