Who you callin' "BIG"?



On to buisiness...


I can say that I'm running WINE 3.13 staging (Fedora 28) and I have sound.
(It has been working fine for the last several versions.)
I just tried both a 64bit and a 32bit (w/DX9 and Dotnet 2.0), and both are working flawlessly.

Based on a quick perusal of the thread, I can see a few possibilites...

Are you using the headphones when you play?
Do they work for other things with sound in Linux?

If not, can you plug in a set of speakers/headphones to the sound card...

NOTE: As I was clarifying my post, I had the thought, Mint could be "seeing" the headphones as a separate sound device.
Which desktop are you running? (Cinimmon? MATE?)

Fedora "sees" my RX 580's built-in sound (for HDMI) and my motherboards sound card separately, and I can switch them "on the fly".

Can you right-click on the Sound/Speaker icon on (what windows calls) the System Tray?
Should pop-up a small menu:
KDE has "Configure Audio Volume" then I can choose the default in the window that pops up under the "Audio Volume/Devices" tab.
Cinimmon has "Output Device", Then it list the Sound options when you click on the drop down menu.
MATE has "Sound Preferences", in the box under the hardware tab it list all devices, and under the "Output" tab, you can select your prefered device...


END NOTE.

It allows multiple different versions of WINE, and then runs the program through those.

There may be a disconnect somewhere in there, since WINE isn't running from the default location on the system.
The System may not be allowing WINE access to the sound...
OR could be a bug in the version of Lutris that you have.


I'm not sure about this, but I thought I would mention the possibility...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
BTW, which Kernel version are you using?
At the terminal: uname -r


Barracuda

P.S. I'm one of those that is going to ask you some questions that you might have to use the terminal to answer...

I from the DOS era, so command line is "home" for me!
