Summary: Halflife 2 does not respect sound volume set in the desktop environment Product: Wine Version: 0.9.49. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: joao.eiras@gmail.com
1. boot Halflife 2 episode 2, or any game for that matter (I used the previous) 2. start a new game - make sure your speakers are on and you ear all sounds and music loud and clear 3. use your quick access keys on your keyboard to change sound volume, or try to change it using your desktop sound volume applet (if you can alt+tab back and forth)
What should happen: - the sound volume of the game should respect the desktop's configured value set by the user. Currently, the sound volume is always at (around) maximum.
This is hardly a sound driver bug or desktop environment bug.
