[Bug 37957] New: No way to disable "surround sound"
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37957 Bug ID: 37957 Summary: No way to disable "surround sound" Product: Wine Version: 1.7.35 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: mikachu(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Since 1.7.34, wine supports surround audio. It appears to determine the number of speakers to use by directly querying alsa at some level. I have only two speakers plugged in to my soundcard, but wine decides I have 6. The result of this is that I can only hear what people say in Skyrim if I look to the side since I have no "center" speaker. Please default to 2 speakers or provide some incredibly obvious knob somewhere to disable this. I also tried specifying my default alsa pcm device as having 2 channels but this didn't help. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37957 --- Comment #1 from mikachu(a)gmail.com --- A good place for the knob would be in the Audio tab of winecfg. An applet in "wine control" might be discoverable too. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

What described in comment #0 in Skyrim I have similar audio problem in Far Cry 2: during a conversation with a NPC if I turn my back on him I can't hear his voice. Some games don't play sound effects on my stereo speakers since 1.7.34 Fedora 21 Alsa 1.0.28 (Pulseaudio is not running) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37957 --- Comment #5 from hellas(a)burntcomma.com --- Thanks Sebastian. Comment #0 - your best bet is to use Pulseaudio, with the winepulse patches in wine-staging. You can then use pavucontrol to force your card into stereo mode. Failing that, I think what you want is to pass a stereo-only model to snd-hda-intel (if that's what you're using), something like 3stack or similar. I think you also have to make sure that you specify the output device in winecfg, as IIRC "(default)" always has six channels. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37957 --- Comment #8 from mikachu(a)gmail.com --- pcm.speakers { type plug slave { pcm "front:Live" channels 2 } } pcm.!default speakers ^ I used this as my .asoundrc, and verified with mplayer that if i set it to "1" i get mono output, so the setting is used by libalsa, but wine with your patches still detect 6 speakers. My "best bet" is probably getting this issue fixed.

I tried those patches and they fix the audio issues in several games after selecting stereo speakers. One exception is Mafia 2 from bug #37886: whatever output device is selected there's no audio during cutscenes. I noticed that with the patches applied I'm getting these after closing the audio tab in winecfg: err:winecfg:apply_speaker_configs L"{0.0.0.00000000}.{7A5314BE-35B1-45C2-B1AA-55F17784DF93}" -> 3 fixme:mmdevapi:MMDevPropStore_Commit stub err:winecfg:apply_speaker_configs L"{0.0.0.00000000}.{AA96F1C6-BB1C-4FC4-807A-9D41D52A5220}" -> 3 fixme:mmdevapi:MMDevPropStore_Commit stub err:winecfg:apply_speaker_configs L"{0.0.0.00000000}.{F7F43F78-B524-42E0-B656-C5A9896346B6}" -> 3 fixme:mmdevapi:MMDevPropStore_Commit stub wine-1.7.35-11-ge62612b Fedora 21 Alsa 1.0.28 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) using snd-hda-intel kernel module -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

On my behalf, I agree that this can be closed as fixed. Bug #37886 is still present for me whatever audio option/speaker config is selected. -- 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.
