Take My advice if you are into serious gaming then Linux is not for you.

There is always dual boot. IMO, dual booting will be much better than wine cos wine won't be able to play all your game properly. Remember it's just an implementation of a closed source OS, older apps may work very well, but with newer apps, and especially games you'll be better off using windows for the same.

go to sound settings in control pannel

check it in device manager, probably a reinstall of driver will work

 

[SunnyChahal]

@Gautham- No help in control panel.
BTW i used this emerald theme - *gnome-look.org/content/show.php/SlicknesS+Emerald?content=73972
I had to do a 'emerald --replace' to get the themes working.
there are many cool themes on gnome-look.org and many awesome wallies on interfacelift.com to make ur ubuntu look better than Mac OSX also.
@T159-i installled the latest drivers just 5 mins ago.It doesnt help

For the dual booting systems.
IMO its a bad idea, as you always seem to be booted into the wrong Os.Computers are cheap these days, there is no point why you should put yourself to this endless trouble.

You seem to Enjoying Ubuntu a lot

 

[infra_red_dude]

Just goto device manager and see for an unknown device/audio controller marked with a yellow exclamation. Right click and uninstall that device. Now reboot, windows will ask for the driver again. Install the correct driver and your problem would be solved.
