ALSA and WINE: Doesn't play audio on 32-bit prefix

I have made a 32-bit prefix for WINE, however the sound does not seem to work whilst on a 32-bit prefix. I have installed the lib32 packages that the Wiki page has told me to install, however it does not play audio. One of the programs I have installed shows that music is indeed playing, however there is no sound being outputted. Winecfg's audio test doesn't play anything.

Thanks for the reply,
I can confirm that I have all six of those packages installed on my system.

For some reason, WINE outputs this when Test Sound is clicked, unsure if it relates to the audio issue or not.

The console output you are showing us is perfectly normal and it will appear in everyone's console. Check that your audio devices in the audio tab in winecfg point to "System Default". And lastly try to make a new wineprefix.

Hi Wndr

If you post a log with the channels listed at <http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound>, we might be able to figure this out.
