pulled an old game out of storage to have another round. It installed fine but I have no sound!

running on a Thinkpad X230.

I have all the prerequisites installed:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get -y install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386

However I get this message when I try install the above:

Note, selecting 'libasound2-data' instead of 'libasound2-data:i386'

And this is what I see when I start the game from the terminal:

The Game then runs but without sound.

Anyone able to help??

thanks for the response linuxvangog.

I have already installed the wine as you suggested.
I tried that other thing with the video drivers you suggested and now it does not start at all... so I am undoing that.
any other thoughts?

still no sound.

You could give a try to the ./play.it installation method.
It builds a .deb package from the GOG installer, and use your system-wide version of WINE.

If it still doesn’t work with the ./play.it script, please give me a head up in the linked thread ;-)
