Hello.
After successfully managing to get Steam to run in WINE, I found that all of my Half-Life mods had perfect sound, except for Natural-Selection. The problem lies in the fact that the sound is played twice as slow (and twice as low-pitched). On the Linux side of things, I have a CS46xx chipset (Voyetra Santa Cruz) and am using ALSA drivers with OSS emulation. In my WINE config, I have:
[WinMM]
"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv" ; default for most common configurations
"WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv"
"MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv"
The ALSA driver crashes, hence the OSS.
NS must handle sound strangely to cause this problem. Is anyone familiar with the technicalities of the mod to know about the audio and how it differs from other mods? Also, has anyone successfully had the sound working in NS in Linux? If so, please post your NS .cfg files and the important excerpts of your WINE config. Perhaps, by tweaking CVARs to make the sound in NS more "normal" as compared to other mods, the sound will work.
