Summary: Uru - Ages Beyond Myst + Expansion Packs: Decompressing sounds produces faulty output Product: Wine Version: 1.1.15 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero@arcor.de
This is a problem with Uru - Ages Beyond Myst with the expansion packs To D'ni and The Path of the Shell. This game saves all the sounds in ogg format, but most of them are decompressed to one or two wav files (sometimes mono/joined stereo, sometimes one for the left and one for the right speaker). These wav files will then be used in game. The decompressing is done by a dedicated app called "SoundDecompress.exe" which is called by the installer after installation finished. This app generally works fine in wine, it decompresses the right ogg files to the right wav files, and the wav files can be played by aplay or kaffeine. However, the game itself is unable to use the wav files, I hear nothing in game. If I use the files which were created by running SoundDecompress on Windows, everything works fine, so I think the fault occurs while running the decompress, but I wouldn't know how to check that. The files created on Windows are bigger than the ones which were created on wine.
