Wine sound issues after update (Arch64)

I've had Spotify running under Wine for a while, but after a recent wine update it said that there was a "problem with your sound card" and running the audio test via winecfg failed.
I deleted ~/.wine and ran winecfg again and the audio test was successful... But when I ran it (or any other wine program) subsequently it failed.
I re-read the wiki and tried running "WINEARCH=win32 winecfg" instead and adding "export WINEARCH=win32" to ~/.bashrc, but that hasn't helped either.
A few days ago I set up a new PC and had the same problem, so I was expecting to see other people reporting it, but I can't find any mention of the issue, so I'm really stumped!
Can anyone suggest how I can find out the cause of the problem?

I use alsa...  I think!  Although I don't remember specifically having to set up sound when I installed Arch.  The XFCE mixer panel applet shows "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)" in the sound card pull-down menu.
Since the Spotify instructions suggest selecting OSS in the winecfg, I did so - and didn't really expect it to work, but it was working fine like that for months.  Now the audio test (in winecfg) fails whether I select alsa, oss or jack.
karol wrote:The most recent change wrt sound involves not autoloading snd-pcm-oss anymore.
Yes; the problems I'm having occurred after a wine update roughly two or three weeks ago.  The more recent changes to /etc/rc.conf and module loading don't seem to have made any difference to the issue.
It just seems really strange that the audio test works the first time I run winecfg with no ~/.wine profile...  And it's also odd that it just stopped working suddenly without me doing anything (as far as I know!) and that no one else seems to be having the problem, yet both of my Arch PCs are affected...
I've just discovered that if I delete ~./wine and never touch the audio tab in winecfg, Spotify works on both PCs.  If I click the audio tab, wine says that "There is no audio driver currently specified in the registry.  A recommended driver has been selected for you...".  If I apply the changes the audio fails every time whichever driver I choose.
Ideally I'd like to find out what's causing the problem so I can fix it and have winecfg working as it should be, but at least I have a workaround so I can listen to Spotify again...

  • Syncing issues after updating to 10.3.1.55

    After upgrading to itunes 10.3.1.55, today, it no longer recognizes my iPhone 4. I plug it in, the iPhone makes its normal syncing noice. I get a prompt, like always about it recognizing the camera and how i want to handle it. I cancel it, as usual, and then it never shows up in iTunes. I close itunes, connect my phone and it does not start itunes as it normally should. No error messages, just no response. Can anyone help with ideas?

    I had the same issue, after updating to 10.3.1.55 it would error out saying something along the lines of not being able to read the catalog or something.  I think the error even states do a restore to fix it.  Last night that is what I did, clicked restore and then had it transfer all my items back.  I'm glad I had just synced my phone prior to the update so the restore was really current.

  • Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

    I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
    I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
    When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
    but after 2 hours its still loading.
    It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
    Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
    What could be the reason?

    I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
    I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

  • Issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network (Italy)

    Hi everyone
    I have issues after updating iPhone3GS to iOS5 on TIM cellular data network.
    After installing iOS5 I had to switch from apn ibox.tim.it to wap.tim.it
    Since then the phone is unusable for any internet activity that is barely "data demanding" (e.g facebook app take literaly hours to update), everyting requires way to much time... the iPhone is not an iPhone anymore... it's worse than my blackberry with just GPRS on it.
    TIM technical support suggested me to switch back on apn ibox.tim.it, but then I would not be able to use internet tethering anymore (they say because of Apple iOS5) ... to bad I need internet tethering for work.
    I am seriously thinking to switch ISP or phone.
    Anyone did experience same problem / found a solution?

    Hi Raia.D,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to restart your iPhone.  Then tap the Settings app, and you should see Cellular listed on the main settings screen.  You should see Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and then Cellular.
    Here are some additional troubleshooting steps to try:

  • Sound issue after )X10.5.6 update

    after updating to 5.5 i get one loud pop/crack sound when starting or wakeing my mac up from sleep.

    Hello Anton. Have you had any luck with your problem?
    I have recently noticed that my Samson CO1U USB Microphone is now very quiet and muffled when connected to my MacBook and yet it still works fine on a Windows XP machine. As it used to be fine with my Mac before the 10.5.6 update I can only assume that this latest update has caused a big problem with some USB devices. Like you, I can't get any answers.
    I am thinking of rolling back to 10.5.4 to see if I can use my Microphone again.

  • Having sound issues after recent IOS 6.1.2 update

    After updating my Iphone 4s with IOS 6.1.2 the phone does not make any sounds. The headphones work but no sounds of any kind (keyboard, notification, games, music) nothing

    Try a hard reset. press the home button and the power button for 30 seconds. once you see the whit apple let it go.
    Also, isolate the issue by creating a video and a voice memo.  (If theres no sound on either restore as new and then if the issue persists get a replacement.)
    lastly, check to make sure the mute button is not on at the top left of the device( no red should be showing)

  • Lumia 1520 Battery Discharge Issue After Updating ...

    After updating to Denim, my Nokia Lumia 1520 started to experience the following symptoms:
    Phone charges to 100%, I disconnect and use an app like Instagram BETA, Internet Explorer, Lumia Camera, or any game--after no more than 5 minutes of use, the phone gives a "Critical Low Battery" alert and shuts down. If I try to restart phone immediately, it makes it to the AT&T splash screen or lockscreen and then same battery message appears and shuts down. If I wait 10-15 minutes after the shutdown to restart phone (without recharging) the phone will stay on, but battery level will report to be in the low 20s or 10s (whereas no more than 20 minutes ago, it was 100%).
    When phone is at 100% battery: I take 2-5 photos or record mere seconds of video and I get the same "Critical Low Battery" alert. Upon restarting, some of the photos or video are nonexistent or corrupt files and battery level is reported at 2-5%.
    However, if my phone is plugged in to charger, none of these "Critical Low Battery" alerts come up and I am able to use phone as usual. Considering that I cannot take a vacation and capture nature's beauty with an AC adapter always connected, this is a serious drawback.
    Steps I've Taken:
    Soft-reset
    Full factory-reset
    Moved all apps off microSD card (this improved situation maybe 5%)
    Disabled almost all background app use in Battery Saver
    Replaced microSD card when I thought this was a memory write/read issue
    Installed "Battery" app to monitor battery use. After 750 data points were logged, my average battery life is reported at "16 minutes," which sounds about right.
    My warranty should be expired since I purchased the phone December 2013, so I'm checking in here if anybody has had any luck with battery replacements or with a solution to this issue? At the same time, this issue arose strictly after updating to Denim and I've seen other users report this EXACT scenario. Is there any hope for Lumia 1520 users on this?

  • HDMI sound error after updating to 10.8.5

    Hi everyone,
    Im using the latest mac mini with 2.3 quad-core ML version 10.8.5 and a small LCD TV as a screen. Low frame rate killing my eyes but that's my only option for now.
    Now the problem: after updating my mac, when I boot it up, sound is fine. After waking up from sleep, it's gone. It has to be the update because I did not make any other significant changes.
    It's not urgent but it would be great if someone knew the solution.
    Thanks

    Updates typically trigger issues with Digital sound that are best resolved through the Audio Midi Setup tool under Applications -> Utilities.  Sometimes zapping the PRAM can also help a newer machine such as yours.  If you have an older machine than 4 years, don't zap it before checking the PRAM battery, which is separate from any battery that lets you run off the mains on a notebook Mac.
