This is my second Linux related issue today. Yay for me.

OK, second computer. Everything went right with this install, but I have NO sound. Like, at all. I know sound isn't necessary to play, but still, it's nice to have.

Any ideas at all?

Not a big Wine user, so I have no idea how to configure for this.

Try using Classic Build if you used the Modern Build. Try using the Modern Build if you used the Classic Build. Try toggling Direct Input and 3D Sound in the preferences.

The issue wasn't as simple as all that, but it was fairly simple. The problem was that Wine simply wasn't making any audio available to the application, so Myth assumed there was no sound card.

For anyone else having the problem, I fixed it by running winecfg

Under Audio, disable OSS and enable ALSA, and click apply, go to the Applications, then add Myth II to the list ( I don't know if this is necessary, but I did it anyway) and set it to run compatible with Windows 98.

Ta Daa sound.

Sorry to waste the post, but maybe this will help someone else.

Can you post this reply to the Sticky Linux topic, so that it will persist there?

Sure thing man.

Does 3D work?
