can't use metatrader with wine due to this alsa problem: alsa plug-in [wine preloader] freeze wine and hide mouse on active windows: huge cpu activity on pulseaudio and gnome-setting-daemon.
Googling around, some users says to deselect alsa and choose esound instead, what i have done in winecfg, then kill pulseaudio. Wine work better but is very slow with this sound choice. Choising esound or oss does not help much. Removing/purging alsa/pulseaudio then reinstall them does not work, erasing .pulse neither, nothing special in logs. This is test on Lucid with wine 1.1.36 that was well working 2 weeks ago before last alsa upgrades. -- Wine randomly cannot initialize sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502375 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
