What works
Windows 7 Mode MUST be enabled!
must be installed with "msiexec /i Setup.msi"
Works Perfectly with IntelGraphics, VSTs Works as well. Offline Registration Works.
What does not
The program completely fails to open with the ATI FGLRX (proprietary) driver. I can't see exactly what the problem is. This might only be a problem for crappy old ATI laptop graphics like my Radeon Mobility X1400/RV515. It seems really strange that ATI's crappy proprietary Xorg driver can have this effect on a program with no graphics. I'll try to get this up on the bug tracker too.
Workarounds
What was not tested
ReWire, control surfaces, interprogram midi (JACK/ALSA midi routing to/from Live), external midi, etc.
APC40 Controller will be tested asap. together with several midi keyboards and real ASIO Interfaces
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
- bug on rendering/export from live 8.2.7 still exist. - Latency is not optimal yet, thats why i give just gold status. its not real suitable for professional use with 150ms latency

Audio / Video File Support
For Codec support install QuickTime with winetricks. Tested with .mp3 audio and .mp4 video files.
I get missing gstreamer 32bit lib errors when I don't do this. So I suppose gstreamer could be an native alternative.
$ winetricks quicktime72
Set your Windows version to Vista or 7 in winetricks to get rid of the black screen bug from QuickTime.
Black Screen on Startup
If you have the screen cleared black on startup when you use QuickTime for codecs, you have encountered Bug 1347.
Set Wine to Windows 7 mode in winecfg to fÂix this.
Bad Audio Quality
If you have bad audio quality, try a sample rate of 48000 in the audio settings.
If this does not help and you use pulseaudio (default on Ubuntu), kill it. Kill it with fire. (sudo killall pulseaudio).
Make sure the audio test in winecfg sounds good and is played back completely.
Exporting / Rendering Audio
Currently you need to build wine yourself and apply this patch, as stated in Bug 15695.
Roughly:
$ git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git && cd wine
$ patch -p1 < abletonexport.diff
$ ./configure && make -j3
Authorization File
Pass the path to the auz file as first parameter to Live.exe with an absolute Windows path. You only need to do this once.
$ wine Live.exe "C:\foo.auz"
