You are awesome. I am definitely going to give that sound thing one last go, even if just for the experience, etc. etc. When your guide says: or manually edit the registry of your wineprefix What is my "wineprefix"? Also when it says: WINEPREFIX="your prefix path here" regedit alsareg.reg What is my prefix path? Normally to run Wine's regedit I just type: wine regedit I've never heard of wineprefix, so a little confused.
