Summary: Wine 1.1.6 with pulseaudio makes crackling sound in games (1.1.5 works fine) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ernstp@gmail.com
After upgrading to Wine 1.1.6 sound/music in games is crackling, like very small interrupts all the time. Downgrading fixed it. But when I tired Pulseaudio 0.9.13 I had the same problem all the time. I run alsa sound through pulseaudio with the default settings in ubuntu intrepid. So far I have only tried World of Warcraft and Diablo 2.
Pulse 0.9.10 is from Ubuntu Intrepid and 0.9.13 is from Luke Yelavich's PPA at http://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive
