Additional Comments

The sound problem is the same problem found in many games, in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21248 It's actually not technically a bug as the behavior is intentional and will be properly fixed in the near future (hopefully). For the time being the problem can be corrected with winecfg > libraries > mmdevapi = disabled. All credit for the workaround goes to the fine folks in the Telltale Games Forums Linux Thread located HERE: http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10820. Hopefully a proper fix appears before Episode 302 so others don't have to hunt around and can play these games at Platinum Status right out of the box. Besides the workaround you need vcrun2005 installed via winetricks for the launcher to work properly. Once vcrun2005 and the workaround are enabled the game runs flawlessly.
