Wine keeps loosing sound

[Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek]

Binary package hint: wine

I keep loosing sound in Swarm Assault game run on wine. Alt-Tabing usually works, but:
1) sound stutters
2) after some time I loose sound again

It worked perfectly on Hardy.

I have a similar problem, sound just never fricken works for me in wine programs, and then when I shut wine off it still isn't working ...

For me only switching to wine-pulseaudio backend helped me with such problems.

@Aigars Mahinovs
What do You mean? Wine doesn't support PulseAudio.

Finally, I switched completely back to ALSA and now everything works again as expected...
