audio tab crashes wine
digimars
program crashes leaving:

I see kde in there, but I"m on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper, I use Gnome for my
desktop, the only thing KDE related on my machine is for Amarok.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Wine, and I get the same error, any
suggestions?

I guess amarok is using the KDE sound system. Try disabling that.

I'm not running amarok while I'm trying to run Wine. Why would Wine
bother with that? And do you mean try disabling Amarok using the KDE
sound system?

I wasn't referring to amarok, but to the KDE sound system (aRts), which
usually gets started on system boot. In case aRts is running, stop it
and see if the crash goes away.

Uninstall arts ...
digimars
Will uninstalling arts kill my amarok install? Or will it pull from a
different audio library?
digimars
Ok, I checked the packages that I have installed. I don't have
amarok-arts installed nor do I have arts installed. What else could I
try?

This is strange, because the message clearly indicates that winecfg is
trying to connect to aRts. Assuming that Ubuntu has dpkg, what does
'dpkg -l' show?

Thanks Daniel, I found it that way. What I found was:
ii libarts1c2a 1.5.2-0ubuntu1 aRts sound system core components
ii libartsc0 1.5.2-0ubuntu1 aRts sound system C support library
ii libartsc0-dev 1.5.2-0ubuntu1 development files for the aRts sound
system
But when I went into the Synaptic Package Manager to remove
libarts1c2a, it was going to remove my installation of Amarok itself.
And If I was going to remove libartsc0, it wanted to delete about half
of my multimedia programs. If I just went into a terminal and did
'sudo apt-get remove libarts1c2a', would it take away amarok as well?
And if so, would amarok use another audio library (I doubt that it
would since it is originally built for KDE anyway).
digimars
Nevermind, going through all of the dependencies, amarok needs aRTs.
So if I take this out, I lose amarok alltogether.
Is there any plans for Wine to fix this? Or a way for Wine to just
ignore aRTs? And if it is such a problem, how do KDE users get by with
this?

remember correctly, you can get around it by removing/renaming
winearts.drv.so, so that it won't be loaded.
I don't have the problem at all with Kubuntu 6.06LTS, even though I also
have Amarok installed and have it using the aRTs engine.

Thanks for the tip, I've been looking all over for the winearts.drv.so
file, what directory is it in?
digimars
Success!!! Found it under /usr/lib/wine. I just renamed it to
winearts.drv.so_bak and removed the original, and ran winecfg. I was
able to click on the audio tab and configure my audio without it
crashing!! Thanks to everyone for the tips and help!!
