I'm trying to enable alsa on different prefix than default through winetricks. More specifically, the prefix that has Rosetta Stone on it, as it cannot see my microphone.

When I open winetricks, it only lets me select default. I tried anyway, on default, and it did not resolve the issue.

I saw some answers online, through the terminal, but that didn't work either. Maybe I have the syntax wrong?

steve@stevelap:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Rosetta sh winetricks alsa
sh: 0: Can't open winetricks
steve@stevelap:~$ sudo WINEPREFIX=~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Rosetta sh winetricks alsa
[sudo] password for steve: 
sh: 0: Can't open winetricks

Could anyone please offer assistance? Thanks!

  • Curious! When I double-checked the Audio tab for that prefix's winecfg, the driver says winealsa.drv. The problem must lie elsewhere, this is unfortunate. I will keep looking. – Steve Sep 06 '12 at 11:34

I found the answer to my question.

The following worked for me:

WINEPREFIX=/home/steve/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Rosetta winetricks

It launched the GUI, and when I selected default then clicked browse files, it brought me to the Rosetta prefix to confirm.

  • YES!!! This was the key to my problems! I've been using the wrong Wine prefix for winetricks/winecfg! Thank you! – Andrew Apr 05 '23 at 04:38
