I am using the internal speakers in my Viewsonic monitor, hence the hdmi audio through video card. I have deleted the wine directory as advised: Code: ryan@Ryans-System:~$ rm -rf $HOME/.wine ryan@Ryans-System:~$ ls wine ls: cannot access wine: No such file or directory ryan@Ryans-System:~$ Then re-booted and entered winecfg: 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 So, the registry errors went away, which is good. However, I still have:perfect sound native, no sound in wine. Do i need to buy a cheap sound card and speakers? At first, hdmi audio did not work for Ubuntu, but i followed a howto at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668737&page=2 which fixed the problem. The sound test for wine as always failed no matter what i have tried, consistently through a hd re-format/ re-install of ubuntu
