           Summary: Chip's Challenge 1: background music stops playing

Wine 11.15 log

Chip's Challenge 1
Steam AppID: 346850
PE32 executable for MS Windows 6.00 (GUI), Intel i386

wine-devel-11.15-1.1.x86_64


The game requires Steamworks, so I installed and ran the Windows Steam client
inside the same Wine prefix and installed Chip's Challenge through that Steam
client.

Distribution: Nobara Linux
Host architecture: x86_64

Audio stack: PipeWire using Wine's PulseAudio driver (winepulse.drv)

Sound hardware / driver: See attached (wine-audio-info.txt)

Prefix / configuration

The issue was reproduced using a newly created Wine prefix:

~/.wine-chips-upstream

No native Windows DLLs or DLL overrides were added.

Wine was run from the unmodified WineHQ development package.

Steps to reproduce
Start the Windows Steam client using Wine 11.15.
Launch Chip's Challenge from Steam.
Start a level.
Confirm that the background music is playing.
Restart the level.

The same issue can also occur after completing a level and proceeding to
another level.

Expected result

Background music should start playing normally again after restarting or
changing levels.

Actual result

Background music plays correctly when the first level starts.

After restarting the level, the background music no longer plays.

Sound effects continue to work normally.

The game itself continues running and remains playable.

Additional observations

The game uses Media Foundation / MFPlay for its MP3 background music.

In the Wine debug trace, the first successful playback reaches the expected
playback sequence, including:

media_player_CreateMediaItemFromURL
media_player_SetMediaItem
media_player_Play
mfsession_Start
MF_TOPOSTATUS_STARTED_SOURCE
audio renderer clock start
IAudioClient::Start

After restarting the level, the game again:

creates the same MP3 media item,
calls SetMediaItem,
calls Play,
and calls IMFMediaSession::Start.

However, the second playback attempt does not reach
MF_TOPOSTATUS_STARTED_SOURCE, the audio renderer clock is not started again,
and there is no second IAudioClient::Start.

This may indicate a Media Foundation / MFPlay Media Session state or topology
transition problem, but I am reporting the observable application behavior
rather than assuming the exact cause.

Other testing

The same user-visible behavior also occurs with:

Proton 9.0-4
Proton 10.0-4
Proton Experimental
GE-Proton 7-1
current GE-Proton

These are listed only as supplemental information. The WineHQ reproduction
described above was performed with upstream Wine 11.15-devel.

I also tested forcing the host PipeWire graph to 44.1 kHz; this did not change
the behavior.

The game's MP3 files were also temporarily converted from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz to
eliminate the Media Foundation resampling path as a variable. The music still
stopped after restarting the level.

Debug output

A complete Wine terminal/debug log from the upstream Wine 11.15 reproduction is
attached separately.

The trace was captured with:

WINEDEBUG=+mfplat,+mfplay,+mf,+winegstreamer,+mmdevapi,+pulse,+dmo,+timestamp

The log is attached as plain text / compressed text rather than pasted into
this report.
