    Sound + WIne Trouble

    Hello,

    Just to start things off - this is definitely the forum for me.

    I recently installed Kubuntu 5.10 (I think...) and I've only been getting to grips with it recently. It will take me a while to feel as comfortable with it, as I did with XP - but I'm enjoying the Linux adventure thus far. (God, it sounds like a badly written novel)

    Anyway, first problem I encountered was a sound issue, the following message shown here:

    http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/7820/sound9ry.png

    Not sure what has gone wrong there - put "sudo lspci" into the Konsole and it came out with the following log:

    0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 645xx (rev 50) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0003 0000:00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 25) 0000:00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 0000:00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] 0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) 0000:00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 0000:00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 90) 0000:00:06.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 0000:00:06.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 0000:00:06.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04) 0000:00:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) 0000:00:08.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 0000:00:08.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 0000:00:08.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04) 0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

    Secondly. Followed the Wine Installation tutorial :

    http://kubuntu101.blogspot.com/2005/...ling-wine.html

    Got as far as searching for WINE in the Adept and couldn't find it...'Fetched Updates and tried again and nothing was doing.

    Appreciate any help.

    Re: Sound + WIne Trouble

    I'm new to Linux too but i think i can help you out with at least one of the problems.
    The error message you're getting is that something is wrong with the aRTS sound driver, and kubuntu can't use it. There are other sound drivers like ALSA and OSS that might work for you (although it's possible your sound card isn't supported). Go to system settings, then to sound and multimedia and select a different sound device, here's a screenshot:


    Give that a try, but i'm not sure if it'll work.

    As for wine, adept isn't finding it because it's not in the repository (a list of all the packages), you have to add it to the repository, then adept will find wine. To do this, start adept, click adept at the top and then select manage repositories, and add:

    "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main" (without quotes)

    Then fetch updates and then you'll be able to install wine. If you decide to upgrade to Dapper Drake 6.06 ( i think it's a good idea, and i think i saw a how to somewhere in the forum) then just change that line to:

    "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main"

    Hope this helps.

      Note that for the official Wine repository, add the following line instead of either of the two that OuchOfDeath gives:
      Code:
      deb [url]http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/[/url] binary/
      Also, don't worry about upgrading to Dapper until at least Thursday (its release day)!

        Hello - Thanks for the help.

        I did actually try the optional sound thing myself - every option keeps coming up and saying it cannot connect to the server - and I think two other options make something crash.

        I also tried the wine thing - did exactly as you said, fetched updates etc and it's still unable to find WINE.

          Can you copy/paste the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

            That repository has a pretty old version of Wine ( 0.9.12), 0.9.14 is already out and it has some pretty important D3D fixes and is perfectly stable, so i'd say you use the default repository i posted. That's where you officially get wine for ubuntu anway. :P

              Sure can, James.

                Re: Sound + WIne Trouble

                I had a look about a few other help forums and found that the webcam can cause problems to sound. So I unplugged it and low and behold - I got no error. I also checked the sound tab in the bottom right hand corner and it has a green light above the option to change volume.

                However, I can't play anything on here because I need a plugin to play an MP3 file. I will have a look about to see if I can do it myself - but if anyone knows would they let me know. I'll remove this if I get it sorted myself.

                  Step 0: in a terminal type

                  sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
                  then

                  Make sure you get no errors! This ensures your up-to-date with Breezy.

                  Step One: Get easyubuntu, and install anything you might need (ahem*MP3 PLAYBACK!!)

                  Step Two: Get a good Sources.list from Ubuntulinux.nl and make sure you tick dapper, not breezy, now paste the output of the generator into your sources.list (the same way you did in step 0) and
                  Code:
                  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
                  Now sleep, it's gonna take a while.

                    Followed all of these instructions and got down to the last part, where I got this message:
