Okay so I installed WA on Linux, I can run it thanks to Wine, etc. Everything was good, but since Im on laptop and I have 5.1 speakers, I bought myself external soundcard (sound blaster live! 24-bit external).

I managed to turn off laptops internal soundcard, by editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base so my soundblaster could work.

Sound works perfectly everywhere, except WA, although I had sound in WA while I was using internal soundcard.

So my question is, does anyone know what could be the problem? I looked in winecfg, in Audio, and my external soundblaster is listed there.

EDIT: nevermind, I solved it.

Would you care to explain so others can benefit from your findings too?

Yeah, in winecfg you go to Audio and change hardware acceleration from "full" to "emulation". It makes sound appear, but it's very bad quality, if you try to play with it for more than 3 minutes your ears start to hurt you. :\
