Alsa Fails with Exception and only OSS works with BF1942
Roger

I get a wine exception on startup trying to use ALSA within winecfg. BF1942 only seems to allow or run with selecting OSS sound.

Also, apparently there is no hardware acceleration with using ALSA if one could do so.

I've tried many different options for ALSA's sample rate and bit rate, but all fail within an exception on startup.

Others have stated trying Windows 98 instead of Windows XP allowed Alsa/ALSA Hardware Accel, but BF1942 complains about stopping a debugger in order to execute.

From what I hear, OSS hogs the soundcard and ALSA is preferable.

Any suggestions?
