Summary: Oblivion: No sound effects or music during game play (voices only) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: toddroe@charter.net
When playing Oblivion, there are no sound effects (i.e. no sounds of battle, no ambient sounds, no background music, no sound from magical effects). Voices are unaffected. Music plays during the intro and start menu sequences.
This began after Wine 1.1.38 I believe, and has already been regression tested (see bug #21609).
I've attempted to patch the source code using the workaround given in bug #21609, but it did not change the symptoms.
Bug #21609 was closed, but I believe that the issue still exists.
Since game play is severely hampered by the absence of sounds (no auditory clues) and the fact that the game used to work just fine in earlier versions, I consider this a major bug.
