I'm not sure if it's still the case or not, but last time I looked at the wine devel page (mabye a month ago) it said aRts and NAS drivers were still buggy, and should be avoided

please, correct me if I'm wrong

You did compile wine with the arts cflag set didn't you ? Other than that, make KDE sleep the sound system after 1 second idol.

emergeing wine does not work because you have to patch one of the files, so i just got wine-cvs and it seems to run after i patched the file. Ill try to set the 1 second idol when i get home. Thanks.

try to use the oss driver! i m getting the same output with the alsa driver, but the sound works correct. i m quite sure the driver is buggy

as you can read when you installed wine via cvs: its still an alpha version

buffer underrun means the buffer runs out. You try upping the buffer on the sound?

as i said, im getting the same error when playing warcraft 3. did you check if wine maybe mutes your sound or lowers it to 0? and did you try to upgrade alsa? maybe its not a wine problem. im running alsa from kernel 2.6.8 (this is the last kernel which allows wine to find my war3 cd)

I got it working some what by unchecking and rechecking 'enable the sound system' in sound and multimedia. Now its just really buggy as in it just pops and theres alot of static. I tried upping the sound buffer in sound and multimedia, it didnt really help. I noticed there are opinions in .wine/config for the sound buffer. Whats a good number i can set it to? Ill also update alsa and the oss emulation and see if that helps too. Ill update the results. Thanks for the post.
