Ok, i have un-installed pulseaudio with a howto on ubuntu forums, and installed the necessary alsa packages. Sound in ubuntu works well(watching hulu while i type this) but i still get the same result when i go to the audio tab in winecfg: fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer when i try to set audio tab configuration options i get this: err:winecfg:set_config_key Unable to set configuration key L"DefaultSampleRate" in section L"DirectSound", res=6 Any ideas? No sound at all in wine, ever. Should i consider reverting to Lucid? I am using the on-board sound on Asus m4a87td motherboard. This motherboard actually got a "works good with linux" review on newegg. Any ideas?
