I am not sure if this has come up on the forums. I tried a search, but didn't find anything pertinent. I have a problem with sound in Wine. I am running Wine 1.0.1. My problem isn't with any particular game or program. I get very good sound when in a game or program, but if I am in a program under wine and then go outside Wine and start a sound program, like VLC for example, VLC gets no sound. Conversely, if I am running a sound program, say VLC, and then start up a program, like Diablo II LOD or any other program with sound, the Wine app gets no sound, but VLC keeps it. So to summarize, I can have sound in one or the other, but never both. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 32-bit version. I used to run Ubuntu 8.04 with Wine and never had this problem. Any help would be more than appreciated.
