winecfg wont save audio settings

Hi there!

Im sorry if this has been posted but I havent found any and I have searched.

Ok I have a problem with the winecfg. Winecfg saves all settings I make to each application I add to the list execpt when I edit the audio tab.
If I change anyting in there it changes for all apps and i cant understand why.
Im gonna take an exampel.

I have the global setting that I want in ALSA with Full acceleration so I set it.

I have added Diablo 2 and mark it, change the tab to audio and choose EMULATED acceleration and click apply then exit.

No I start winecfg again to check the settings in audio. When I check Diablo 2 it is on EMULATED and when I mark the global setting and check the audio tab the sound has change to emulated there too, d*mn I did set the global to FULL.

So somehow the audio tab changes do apply to all program. It doesnt mather if it is diablo or any other app I change, the audio is equal to all. For me this is a problem cuz when the sound in Diablo 2 is EMULATED ALSA works perfect, then I also whant Ventrilo to work and the recording doesnt work if the sound isnt set to FULL so I really need to set them different but I cant cuz winecfg refuses.

Is there anyone who can help me I would be very grateful Smile
Thanks in advance!

Ok I managed to partly solve the problem.
I opened up "wine regedit" and clicked HKE_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Wine -> AppDefaults and there I had the "Diablo 2.exe" and "Ventrilo.exe".
And under diablo 2 there was a key named "DirectSound" and it had another key "HardwareAcceleration" set to "Emulated" so i created the same key under
"Ventrilo.exe" and changed it from "Emulated" to "Full" so finally these programs ran with their own hardware acceleration
Something is really wierd with winecfg cuz its still shows that the programs runs with the same hardware acceleration.

Even if I have it set to what I want I still whant winecfg to work properly cuz it is much easier to make changes there than in the regedit.

The Windows registry, whether in Wine or in a native install, is VERY finicky. I tend to stick with *nix-compatible stuff as much as possible and avoid having to use Windows (I only use it in a VM so I can run Autodesk Inventor for my engineering hw <_< ).

This is a page on the Wine Wiki that may be of some help to you:
