[Bug 42674] New: Skyrim audio crackles and pops when Wine is set to Windows 7, plays normally for Windows XP
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42674 Bug ID: 42674 Summary: Skyrim audio crackles and pops when Wine is set to Windows 7, plays normally for Windows XP Product: Wine Version: 2.4 Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: alexchandel(a)gmail.com After installing Skyrim on a fresh wine prefix with wine-2.4, which defaults to Windows 7, Skyrim's audio crackles and pops and character voices are somewhat distorted. However, if the Windows version is changed to Windows XP in winecfg, then the audio works perfectly. This should not happen. -- 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.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42674 --- Comment #2 from alexchandel(a)gmail.com --- This is still present in wine 2.8. Notably, the crackling does not occur during the startup movie's audio (with the Bethesda logo). It only begins at the main menu's background music. Moreover, this behavior can be triggered while Wine is already running, as long as the Skyrim process hasn't been started yet. That is, starting Steam with Wine set to Windows XP, then changing to Windows 7, then launching Skyrim is enough to cause audio crackling/distortions. Moreover, if one exits Skyrim (leaving Steam, and thus Wine, still running), sets Wine back to XP, then relaunches Skyrim, the audio crackling is gone. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42674 --- Comment #3 from alexchandel(a)gmail.com --- This is somewhat of a regression, because new WINEPREFIX's default to Windows 7 now, and thus result in the buggy audio. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42674 --- Comment #5 from alexchandel(a)gmail.com --- Why is sound played differently depending on whether wine is in "Windows XP" or "Windows 7" mode? Why is it *worse* in "Windows 7" mode? -- 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.

Could it be a result of wrong sample rate being used somewhere? cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params (my default soundcard) yields: access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED format: S32_LE subformat: STD channels: 2 rate: 48000 (48000/1) period_size: 1024 buffer_size: 8192 -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

My experience was like this: Windows 7 ALSA = constant click noise Windows 7 Pulseaudio = some click noise WinXP ALSA/Pulseaudio = rare click noise (acceptable for me) This is in a amd64 prefix of wine-3.18 (vanilla) on Gentoo Linux using a "Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller". The implementation of the new audio API in Windows 7 seems to have timing problems that the older fallback API for Windows XP don't show. Installing xact via winetricks didn't make an audible difference. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
