Nov 1, 2010I am having sound issues while playing some games under WINE. for this I will use World of Warcraft as it has options for different sound engines. The problem is that I will have sound running fine for a while after a fresh reboot. It will seem fine for a good half hour to an hour and then suddenly it will stop. It will still be present in the applications list in sound preferences listed as 'ALSA plug-in [wine-preloader]'. muting/unmuting and adjusting the slider has no effects. Enabling and disabling sound in the game also has no effects. Here is what I have tried thus far to try to remedy it:
tried all of the various sound options in winecfg (some simply don't produce any sound at all on a fresh reboot - OSS, for instance) tried with and without padsp tried the various sound engines in Config.wtf tried WINE from the Ubuntu repositories and the developer's PPA tried lowering the sample rate and the bits per sample in the audio tab of winecfg tried fiddling with the sound preferences applications controls I am not adventurous enough to try to install OSSv4 so that doesn't seem like an option for me. it is important to note that sounds not coming from WINE function as normal even while WINE is producing no sounds.

Feb 23, 2011I get 2 black bars on the sides when playing games.
I have tried all resoulotions but nothing works.
It was same in windows, but I could just change a small setting by right clicking on my desktop. but how do I do it in Ubuntu?
I mean... My screen look good, and have right res when I'm not playing a game. But when a game starts it gives me 2 black bars. D:
I use 12800*800. It was standard and it is the only one that works.

Oct 11, 2010when I start playing some medium-intense game the computer just restarts randomly. I made a lot of search on it and even tested various things. I have been having this system for about a month and the problem appeared just one week ago.I am a big fan of "Spring: TA" and that's the easiest way to reproduce the problem, by playing that game(and the most annoying). The funny thing is that when I just start the game the gpu temperature raises very fast. If after some time the pc doesn't reboot on itself the temperature just gets lower and lower. I was suspicious that the problem had to do with temperature so I made some scripts and logged the temperatures in every instant time.

Ubuntu Networking :: No Wifi/ethernet After Battery Died While Laptop Was Asleep?
Jan 10, 2011Running Ubuntu 10.04. Networking won't work at all. Used to work flawlessly. Problem is not hardware, because booting windows (vista) on the same machine I can still use networking.
Little story: I Was going into a short trip, then I put my computer to sleep (as usual). Trip took longer than expected and, when I came back, the notebook battery was dead. Charged it, booted the notebook (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now its network won't work at all. After reboot it even ran a filesystem scan, but problem wasn't fixed. The icon on 'taskbar' only says "networking disabled". The ethernet lights won't even light up when I connect a ethernet cable and it won't see any wifi networks. I've tried to fiddle with that little switch which would turn the wifi on and off, but all it seems to do is turn the Bluetooth on and off, as shown by the little Bluetooth icon on 'taskbar' (I've not tested bluetooth, though). I've also tried to plug a external wifi dongle but ubuntu won't even try to install it.
what's happening or what could I do to get my network working? Is there some 'magic' I can type into a terminal window to make this work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE Network :: FTP Network Speed Using 11.4 Falls Down To 15 MiB/s After 30 Seconds At 90 MiB/s
Jun 8, 2011I'm facing an odd problem with a fresh install of OpenSuse 11.4 on a Dell PE-2950, using NIC Broadcom BCM5708C (rev 12) NetXtream II. Driver's are up to date. I'd installed vsftpd and configure it. I can connect from anywhere in the network where I setup this Server. The odd problem is that when I'm sending a big file (5.5 GiB for example), from another PE-2950 server (Windows Server 2003 64 bits R2) with another BCM5708C nic, the speed of the transfer starts at 90 MiB/s approx. but after 30 seconds , it drops to 15 MiB/s and never raise again. Driver's are up to date too.
However, from another Server in the network, a Dell R710 with SLES 10 SP3, the transfer speed is at 90-100-110 MiB/s all the time. The switch is a HP Procurve 2910al-24G, with all ports at gigabit speed. I'd tried with different FTP clients in Windows: WinSCP and the Windows's ftp client, but the result is the same: speed falls down after 30 seconds approx. using the Windows-Box.

Jan 4, 2010I just made the switch from windows xp and i am very glad i did. One problem though, I cant get steam games to run right. I have steam installed on an external hard drive and can start it up with wine but whenever i try to run a game, the "starting (game name here)" screen comes up and then disappears and the game doesn't open. I've tried several different tutorials on how to run steam but all they do is tell how to install it.I'm running ubuntu 9.10 x64 if that helps at all.

May 1, 2011A friend of mine gave me a few .iso games that will work just from the computer...not using a cd drive. I figured out how to do it in windows, it was pretty easy, but in ubuntu its not as easy. I got some tips on how to mount...and after some experimenting i got it to work. So i installed Morrowind thru Wine. And it starts the opening screen just fine (where you can pick "Play" "Options" etc.) But when i click play it gives me an error that it cant find a cd drive on my computer...because i use a netbook. why this is happening since i have it mounted. Also i am trying to use PlayOnLinux, since ive heard it is good at auto fixing problems that youd have to manually fix thru Wine, and id like to be able to run Morrowind thru that if possible.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Games Started But Getting No Sound At All
Feb 24, 2010I switched to Linux but I was, and still am a gamer, and I have been trying to get some of my favorites to run on Linux as well as find Linux native games. While this hasn't been hard, I have run into a sort of Brick wall. I'll get games to start, but there will be no sound at all. The game runs fine though. When I try to close the game, it crashes/freezes.
This has puzzled me because some games that display this bug now did not previously, and at first this only occurred on one game. Now it occurs on all games. I've checked around, found a few similar bugs, but the closest people seem to get to fixing it is "just uninstall pulseaudio and use something else". It only happens in games, music and other sound works fine.
As for specs, I must say I'm fairly ignorant of some things, but getting better, here is what I do know.
Mint 8
Nvidia graphics card (can't recall what model)
Gnome Desktop
Ubuntu / Apple :: Can't Get Games To Play Right / What To Do?

I know the hardware is old but one of the few(only thing) things it did well with the old OSX system was play games, so I know its not the hardware.
Ubuntu :: Sound Not Working With Games?

I have a conexant Hi-Def audio on a HP laptop here, and when i typed in the code 'aplay -l' in the terminal, i got this:
