Ok, i have used apt-get remove --purge wine and removed all wine packages in synaptic. Also i have used rm .wine -R Then re-installed 1.3 from this site using the link. Here is what i get in the terminal while running winecfg, going to audio tab and changing settings: Code: ryan@Ryans-System:~$ winecfg wine: created the configuration directory '/home/ryan/.wine' fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub! fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x8ede914, overlapped 0x8ede918): stub wine: configuration in '/home/ryan/.wine' has been updated. fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer err:winecfg:set_config_key Unable to set configuration key L"Audio" in section L"Drivers", res=6 err:winecfg:set_config_key Unable to set configuration key L"DefaultSampleRate" in section L"DirectSound", res=6 err:winecfg:set_config_key Unable to set configuration key L"Audio" in section L"Drivers", res=6 Any ideas?
