[Bug 18773] New: The Westerner: needs MPEG Layer-3 audio codec
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18773 Summary: The Westerner: needs MPEG Layer-3 audio codec Product: Wine Version: 1.1.22 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: winmm&mci AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hoehle(a)users.sourceforge.net The Westerner until now had garbage AppDB rating but no bug entry. Deselecting any audio driver in winecfg let's wine play the intro and crash after: err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {38be3000-dbf4-11d0-860e-00a024cfef6d} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {38be3000-dbf4-11d0-860e-00a024cfef6d} could be created for context 0x1 This UUID is the "FriendlyName"="MPEG Layer-3 Decoder" from DirectX9 windows\system32\l3codecx.ax As Wine has its own winemp3.acm, shouldn't it declare this UUID (e.g. via tools/wine.inf)? Is this a simple omission? Does winemp3 implement something entirely different, another win API? When audio is not disabled in winecfg, wine crashes after repeatedly (~13x) opening and closing all winmm codecs, including winemp3.acm (it does not manage to reach the intro). wine regsvr32 l3codecx.ax WINEDLLOVERRIDES=quartz=n wine PICTuRE.exe is what's needed to let the music play, to see the intro, to start gameplay and to bump the AppDB rating from garbage to bronze. (Likely gold except for serious mouse lag, which is another issue.) The loop mentioned above is then avoided, as a driver is found. The native quartz.dll is needed or it won't find some pin (later than the intro). I copied the l3codecx.ax from a separate winetricks DirectX9 install before noticing that The Westerner's CD-ROM also contains it in DirectX9\DirectX.cab. Oddly, the application's cover lists only DirectX 8.1 as requirement. Using The Westerner German Patch v1.3. I guess v1.0 (CD-ROM without patch) would behave the same (guessing from reports in AppDB). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

What I don't know is whether some gstreamer plugin may make the need for l3codecx.ax obsolete -- in general or for this particular app -- on the lucky systems that can use winegstreamer.
Is there a download for this app, or some other app that also demonstrates the problem on your system?

I can't remember whether the demo is affected. It would be interesting to see whether WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winegstreamer= (to disable it) makes a difference. There appears to be no other bug specific about l3codecx.ax. Perhaps because people are happy, as in bug #24911, with "winetricks directx9" that presumably installs it. I guess few take extra steps and investigate exactly what from the huge directx9 install is needed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

It also still needs native quartz, though builtin no longer makes it crash (it just plays sound with no video). Winetricks directx9 didn't install the file--I had to expand it from my Windows XP install cd. The howto in the AppDB entry for Age of Empires III indicates that it, too, needs the codec. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

This looks like a winetricks regression, isn't it? Possibly. It's not something I ever checked before. I have since discovered that winetricks has an l3codecx verb. It does set an override for devenum, though, which isn't necessary for this game. You might want to update the AppDB howto to mention it.

As Wine has its own winemp3.acm, shouldn't it declare this UUID (e.g. via tools/wine.inf)? Is this a simple omission? Does winemp3 implement something entirely different, another win API?
To answer this question, essentially yes. winemp3 (now l3codeca.acm) implements the decoder for the old ACM API (which in fact only deals with WAVE files). Most games don't try to load l3codecx.ax explicitly, so they go through winegstreamer instead. If this one does, I guess the best way forward is probably to make use of libmpg123. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

In my case it was NOT possible to get it work through winetricks (winetricks l3codecx & winetricks quartz). Well, maybe I did something wrong, whatever. Everything other works almost perfectly, especially if a DX8 to DX9 wrapper like "d3d8to9" is used in conjunction with Gallium Nine (winetricks galliumnine).
