Rosetta Stone v3 - French Levels 1 and 2

I am using Rosetta Stone 3 ( 3.0.35 - 11054 )

I am using Ubuntu Hardy 64-bit.

I am using wine version 1.0-rc1 from winehq, the ubuntu hardy amd64 package.

I have wine set to "Windows 2000" in winecfg.

I have the audio set to "OSS Driver".

  • Hardware Acceleration is at "full"
  • Default sample rate is 44100
  • Defaults bits per sample is 16
  • Driver emulation is off.

The install died a couple of times, but I just kept doing

cp -R ~/.wine ~/.wine-backup
rm -rf ~/.wine
winecfg

And then resetting the above winecfg settings and then running the install until it worked.

Installing the language packs

I had to use winecfg to point directly to the cdrom in media, which was /media/fr-FR_L1 to get wine to detect the physical cd rom.

The USB headset

lsusb says:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0d8c:0008 C-Media Electronics, Inc. 

By going through System -> Preferences -> Sound in gnome, I can test both capture and playback using "C-Media USB Audio Device".

Wine doesn't seem to know how to output sound through it.

OSS vs ALSA vs PulseAudio

In System -> Preferences -> Sound, I set everything to "USB Audio".

This all appears to be ALSA.

So, I guess the secret is to set up alsa to handle the usb headset, and then set up wine to use USB Headset through ALSA.

Microphone on the USB headset

The microphone on the USB headset appears to work fine.

Headphones on the USB headset

Not working just yet.

Kernel Modules

Plugging in the headphones loads 4 kernel modules:

snd_usb_lib
