[SOLVED] Sound not working when using wine to execute a .exe video

Hi, I am new on arch.

My issue: when i try to run a video in .exe (screencast videos were made on Screen2EXE) the video is ok but  sound not worked.

I got this

$ wine video.exe
err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from multi-threaded to apartment threaded 

The WINEPREFIX was set on win32 and i have install the sound dependencies mentioned on arch wiki:

• lib32-alsa-lib

• lib32-alsa-plugins

• lib32-libpulse

• lib32-alsa-oss

• lib32-openal

I tried to set sound on alsa with winetricks but still nothing

$ winetricks sound=alsa
Executing w_do_call sound=alsa
Executing load_sound alsa
Setting sound driver to alsa
Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_sound=alsa\set-sound.reg
You opted in, so reporting 'sound=alsa ' to the winetricks maintainer so he knows which winetricks verbs get used and which don't.  Use --optout to disable future reports.

Thanks in advance

Are you sure you have installed all the required dependencies, I do not see mpg123, lib32-mpg123 that are required for some apps to play sound. Install all the optional dependencies unless you know you don't them.

• lib32-alsa-lib

• lib32-alsa-plugins

EDITED: screenshot removed

I tested the sound with winecfg, and got a low sound and the error in terminal (the same when try to run video.exe)

 $ wine winecfg 
err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from multi-threaded to apartment threaded 

But when I tried to run the video.exe still no sound.

Do not post screenshots of text output; post the actual text (see the Forum etiquette), moreover your image is unreadable.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound not working when using wine to execute a .exe video

The problem isn't the sound config in wine, a codec missing for the video.exe.

I marked this thread as SOLVED
