I don't know that this will apply to all, but I know that my laptop runs sound through the APU.
So you have skyrim in wine (Or nooby POL or whatever) and it runs! COOL! YOU ARE ONE STEP TOWARD AWESOME!!! Uh oh, why is the intro video so crackly in sound? Huh? NOOOO WHY CAN'T I HAVE SOUND?!??!?!?!?
Well let's address this on a chip level.
With an APU there are multiple streams that say I AM VIDEO, or I AM SOUND, or I AM BLEH and it is always calling for package A B C D. If you don't have them, the APU freaks out and flips on it's back and yells like a child.
What to do to fix this
So we have normal wine, right? HOPEFULLY the latest version of it (1.7.22) and set in.
Boop open your terminal and type
We are doing sudo just to make sure. It won't hurt anything.
The packages we want are listed here:
Yes this is a lot to add, but this is creating a fallback for your wine system.
However way you installed skyrim (either steam or by CD) one way or another sound will work. For me it is a little crackly but I have sound and I can play this like I do in Windows.
SPARE SOUND FALLBACKS
Here is a list of directX packages that are being built in wine.

In dsound and dmusic are the other packages associated with the main packages. If the dsound and dmusic packages do not support as a backup to xinput, then add the packages that are associated with them. This will have all the packages that are either inside of the dsound and dmusic parts that are not being accessed and will serve as a popular fallback.
There are no pictures here because this guide helps with adding packages in the winecfg window on an APU machine. There is nothing to show here.
