wine audio stops working on recent upgrade

[James Stewart Miller]

Hi, after an upgrade yesterday (somewhat delayed) alsa audio stops working.
I have tried all the usual things including:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-pipelight WINEARCH=win32 /opt/wine-compholio/bin/winecfg
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-pipelight winetricks

plus I deleted the prefixes. I did all of this after trying the flash-x64 which worked until the upgrade. Eventually I deleted the flash-x64 prefix and disabled it using pipelight-disable and enabled the standard 32 bit wine.

I am still getting no audio. I can obtain audio by starting jack and using a loopback sound device as used by cadence.

The distro is lubuntu

my desktop environment is standard lubuntu - so lxde spin openbox (I think).

Many thanks.

Hi James, I'm concerned about the error:
err:pulse:pulse_contextcallback Context failed: Connection refused

This sounds like your PulseAudio daemon is not setup correctly. Did you do anything to change PulseAudio recently?

[James Stewart Miller (jamesstewartmiller)]

I haven't changed anything and had used the winetricks to set the alsa on
in the settings dialog. I have pulseaudio set to not spawn in client.conf
and everything was working fine. I would uninstall pulseaudio completely
if I could without losing some apps that falsely have a dependence.

Right now I'm having to manually start jack and turn the loopback device on
to get audio, where before I was just logging in and everything worked fine.

I'll try after dinner to fix it again,

Thanks
