Wine/Eve/Sound in Linux have always had their issues, it's not necessarily a Bug in eve. First off, knowing what sound solution you are using would help.

If you are using pulseaudio, I think there's to options:

a: Compile wine with pulseaudio support. Wine has a history of not working too well with pulses alsa interface. I don't know if wine officially supports pulse by now, but if not, there should be patches.
b: Remove pulseaudio, use alsa. still works great.

Thanks for the answer. just a final question before i make my decision, which 1 has the most compatability? like which 1 works with the most headsets and speakers without too much hassle

They both use the same drivers, so hardware compatibility is not an issue. In fact. Pulseaudio just sits on top of ALSA. That's why to run an ALSA-only app, you have to use ALSA emulation performed by pulseaudio sitting on top of ALSA, which always seemed fairly stupid to me.

App compatibility should not be much of an issue either. ALSA is still sort of the quasi-standard, and almost every app supports it. Pulseaudio is growing, but some developers still refuse to properly support ist.

However, there is a downside to ALSA too: You know how you can tweak the Volume of every running app right from the mixer applet? You won't have an easy way to do that without pulseaudio and have to use the apps volume control instead.

I use Fedora which use pulseaudio for mix sounds. And wine come with pulseaudio patch. NO troubles with sounds.
You can take wine with pulseaudio there - http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/multimedia.git

Obligatory "EVE has sound?" pun.

Someone had to do it. :D
