For me, this is not a wine+alsa issue, this is an alsa and/or pulseaudio issue.
The only sound I get when using alsa (in Firefox, wine or the Ubuntu startup) is a low background hiss and the occasional hum. With OSS, I get sound as normal. $ lspci 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) I think that we have two issues: (1) the wine-bugs #15559 issue, with stuttering/crackling sound, and (2) no sound except for a hissing sound. Also of note, I also experienced a hang in the alsa driver when shutting down to reboot my machine after the update that broke alsa. So here's a question: did this corrupt one of the alsa setting files (e.g. the volume settings) and as a result is causing the hissing? -- [intrepid] Wine>=1.1.6 + PulseAudio : alsa is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
