Skyrim No Sound Fix (APU LAPTOPS)

  • 13,332

I don't know that this will apply to all, but I know that my laptop runs sound through the APU.

So you have skyrim in wine (Or nooby POL or whatever) and it runs! COOL! YOU ARE ONE STEP TOWARD AWESOME!!! Uh oh, why is the intro video so crackly in sound? Huh? NOOOO WHY CAN'T I HAVE SOUND?!??!?!?!?

Well let's address this on a chip level.

With an APU there are multiple streams that say I AM VIDEO, or I AM SOUND, or I AM BLEH and it is always calling for package A B C D. If you don't have them, the APU freaks out and flips on it's back and yells like a child.

What to do to fix this

So we have normal wine, right? HOPEFULLY the latest version of it (1.7.22) and set in.

Boop open your terminal and type
Code:
 sudo winecfg
We are doing sudo just to make sure. It won't hurt anything.
