RE: which version?

I have no idea about the version you are using. It's been so long since I used it.
However, Ubuntu's repository has wine and wine1.2, which is later.
You might want to try wine1.2, if your repository has it.
If you're a newbie,probably best to stay away from the cutting-edge git versions, compiling your own, etc.
There are sound problems now in some of the Ubuntu versions, I'm not sure about yours.
If you have a sound problem, open a termial and type
sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf
change
; autospawn = yes
to
autospawn = no
and save that file. Then type
killall pulseaudio
and that should help.
You have to type killall pulseaudio every time you log on, right now, although that may change as pulseaudio is improved.
