[Wine] Tr: RE : getting a Creative Soundblaster card to work

[Susan Cragin]

Thank you very much. This will work. Your advice caused me to realize that WINE was not my main problem. I have since found out that my sound problems are primarily caused by Hardy Heron alsa's treatment of my nvidia soundcard, and an appropriate bug report has been filed. 
Encore, merci bien votre assistance amicable.

>Wine does not "see" your card directly, it uses alsa or OSS to handle sound. In the audio tab of winecfg, chose one of them. alsa is recommanded, but you can falback to OSS in case you have problems.
