Comment 8 for bug 502375

hi Joao,

have the same issue, might sid had, because my problems was not only with wine. If i was not having sound problem with Jaunty or Karmic, with Lucid it was a nightmare: pulseaudio might be started into console. In fact my hardware sound chipset: ALC882 (aka azalia / hda-intel / realtek) was not well recognized, so system/pref/sound cant be opened.
I finally made this working by removing/purging all alsa* & pulse* packages and related hidden files, then reinstalling. So it is on Lucid side, as often a transitional left behind settings/conf/packages that built the mess.

Now with wine, its quite the same thing: upgrading is at your own risk as said on winehq home, a clean install is far better. The problem is that you need to reinstall everything running with wine again.

note: to this sound problem, maybe the problem/solution stay into regedit config.
