[quote="qwertymn"]what happens if you disable wbemprox.dll in wine-1.1.26 (so run the app like WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wbemprox=""" wine game_name.exe )[/quote] I'm trying to play "The Curse of Monkey Island" and getting the same error message (dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan), but slightly different symptoms. Starting the game with this command fixed the problem for me, so the problem does appear to be in around wbemproxy.dll somewhere.
