I am trying to run games in Wine on Fedora 25 via PlayOnLinux, however when they load, none of them have audio. I was able to play the same games fine on other distros, but they do not work with Fedora. Using a different version of WIne also does not fix this problem.
Wine can output sound through alsa and pulseaudio. In Fedora there is wine-pulseaudio but since you are installing
wine through Playonlinux you probably need to install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio
`
I already have wine-pulseaudio, wine-alsa and alsa-plugins-pulseaudio installed
Since PlayOnLinux scripts usually install and use different versions of wine for each game/program, system-wide wine installation isn't relevant in many cases. Anyway have you run winecfg and looked at audio section there? There's also a test audio button. I'm on F24, no audio problems in wine at all here.
After a lot of messing about with Wine I found the very best version was the official stable version direct from the creators:
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/25/winehq.repo
sudo dnf install winehq-stable
This version has pulse audio installed out-the-box, you should not need to do anything else to get sound.
When I use the Test Audio button I get sound, but I don't get sound in the wine game itself.
@thesuperpapagai as I said each game on POL has its own version of wine installed under ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/. You must select a game and run configure and then winecfg from there. I'm not sure whether those local installations of wine have proper support for pulseaudio or not and if this is the case whether your system is properly configured to output sound for alsa only programs through alsa-plugins-pulseaudio or not. Do you have ~/.asoundrc in your home? It should look like this
Did you build WINE yourself? WINE requires OSSv4 at compile-time to play most sound. If you didn't build it yourself, you might want to give that a try. The instructions to do so can be found here.
@fcomida hi downvoter...
@Barrelwolf38087 OSSv4 isn't used anymore in moderns linux distros... the problem is here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rp...
@fcomida I got that information when I built WINE from source of Fedora. Had to build OSS, too. Unfortunately, that installation is gone.
