Bug #: 32620 Summary: Warcraft Voice Chat cannot capture voice. Product: Wine Version: 1.5.20 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winealsa.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: rankincj@yahoo.com Classification: Unclassified
Playing WoW (MoP) with Wine 1.5.17, 18, 20:
The built-in voice chat functionality is no longer capturing voice correctly, and sounds like "R2D2 on drugs" instead. This can be reproduced both during "live" char sessions and also when testing "capture" from the Voice settings panel.
I have reproduced this bug both with and without PulseAudio; with Intel HDA, Audigy 2 and Xonar D1 cards. So I must assume that this is something relating to Wine and ALSA.
Capturing audio from the command line via: $ arecord -t wav -f cd -d 5 > test.wav
results in a correct WAV file.
