I solved the problem based on this tip ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio As I had already installed pulseaudio ... I just installed the pulseaudio-mixer-applet to monitor the pulseaudio and created the file .asoundrc with: nano ~/.asoundrc or vi ~/.asoundrc or gedit ~/.asoundrc with the following content... Code: pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } Wine works perfectly now the microphone Wine version = 1.3.4 Arch Linux i686 + gnome 2.32.0 thanks!
