Not a fix, but a workaround on FreeBSD, that doesn't require you to switch to emulated sound 1) Create a new group "nomixer" by editting /etc/group e.g. nomixer:*:2000: 2) Add the following 2 lines to /etc/devfs.conf: own mixer root:nomixer perm mixer 0606 3) Modify the wine binary as such: chgrp nomixer /usr/local/bin/wine chmod g+s /usr/local/bin/wine This basically means that wine doesn't have access to /dev/mixer so can't alter anything. You as a user still retain access, and also, any wine apps that have a volume control STILL work, because that volume is not changed using /dev/mixer
