Once Darwinia is downloaded open Wine File (in Fedora it is applications>system tools>Wine File) and browse to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOURUSERNAME\darwinia where YOURUSERNAME is your steam username.

Open preferences.txt and find the line that says

SoundLibrary = anyvalue where anyvalue can be anything (it should be DSP)
