I'm facing an odd situation after having installed Mageia's packages for wine:
WINE works as far as loading and playing games but all without sound. The weird thing is that winecfg plays the test sound OK (I can hear it thru my laptop's speakers), but when I launch any game the sound would not work. The screenshot attached shows winecfg having pulseaudio as the default for all devices.

I've tried everything:
- Installed 64 and 32 wine libs from Mageia's repos using drakrpm
- Tried messing around with winecfg (got Word of Warcraft to launch and play ok but with no sound....of course
)- Tried messing around with Q4Wine. At this point I tried installing MediaPlayerClassic thru the apps installer tool in Q4Wine ending with a very weird message when executing the application. This issue got me to try installing DirectX 9.0c (more on this later)
- Tried using winetricks to install DirectX 9.0c, ending with a nasty error window.
- Tried manual installation of DirectX 9.0c as sugested in some forums....BTW, failing miserably again... (more on this below)
As mentioned above, after having installed MediaPlayerClassic thru Q4Wine, MPC starts ok but if you try playing an MP3 file I get the following message: "Failed to query the needed interfaces for playback". According to some forums this was due to some DirectX 9.0c libs missing. Therefore, installing DirectX was my next move. For that I tried two methods (manually and also thru Q4Wine) with exactly the same results: an error window saying there was an internal error (screenshot attached).

Inspecting DirectX.log revealed the line "Current DirectX may be a older version which does not have the version value in the registry", that according to some forums was due to a missing key in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX]
"InstalledVersion"=hex:00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00
"Version"="4.09.00.0904"
But I verified my registry with regedit and the above values were "shining" right there thus not missing as some folks from a linux help forum had suggested (screenshot attached). At this point frustration had overtaken my spirit

As a final test I tried launching dxdiag.exe but got a nasty error. I'll paste it at the end of this post.
Last, below are some details of my current distro, laptop, wine libs installed, error logs when installing DirectX 9.0c
ANY HELP will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx!
