What I did was I took l3codeca.acm and made a link to it called winemp3.acm, both within the sys32 folder in /.wine which had been one of your tips on another post. I do have the libmpg123 aswell. Also, sound works perfectly fine when testing it in the Wine config, and when playing mp3 & wmv files in any of the default ubuntu video/music programs. [Rolling Eyes] I know I'm quite the inexperienced Linux user but I'm really hoping I can fix this. Afterall, I picked this as my asignment to get familiar in Linux... Windows just gets so annoying, and this is quite a challenge.

I doubt video will work at all. how should i disable pulseaudio? the configured audio in wine is ALSA. also, the file is a .mp3 of the song Bleak by Opeth. what program do you suggest testing the sound with? i would like to install a program that does not affect my install of office, and windows media player does affect it. any other tips and steps i could take? i'll get back to it tomorrow, right now it's time to head home. Thanks!
