Thanks to very helpful people I managed to get one of my programs running that did not work under wine 1.1.15. But after upgrading to 1.1.22, the other program I need, which did work under wine 1.1.15 - Speaker Workshop- for which again there is no opensource substitute available, gives me the notice that my soundcard is not compatible (anymore). The only output I see is: fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) Anyone any idea?
