Here's my suggestion. I don't run steam, so take this with a grain of salt. I think pulseaudio is screwing you up. In terminal: sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf Uncomment the following line and change to "no" ; autospawn = yes autospawn = no reboot Then, before you start anything else, in terminal type killall pulseaudio Then see if that works. -----Original Message----- >From: Jemain <wineforum-user@xxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Oct 30, 2009 9:34 AM >To: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Steam sound problem > >Hi, > >I succesfully installed steam and counter strike source, but whenever steam is running wine doesn't give any sound. >When I go in wincfg and do "sound test" it says "error, audio test failed" for all the sound options. >When I exit steam it works fine. how can i fix this? > >thx > > > > >
