Summary: Homeworld: sound broken usually [regression] Product: Wine Version: 0.9.56. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: miken700@yahoo.com
Usually when starting up Homeworld v1.05, the sound will not work, but not always. Works fine under Wine 0.9.53.
When it doesn't work it's broken from the very beginning. At the Sierra intro movie, it will not have any sound. Then there will not be any sound throughout the running of the program. There are no other noticeable issues during play. But also when this happens upon a normal exit of the app via its menu system it will normally (always?) hang in the console window after it closes its application window. In the few cases when there is sound upon startup exiting normally does not hang.
Choosing different audio drivers in winecfg seem to have any affect.
Running 'wineboot -s' or 'wineserver -k' doesn't seem to help either.
For a while it seemed like switching the default settings Windows Version in winecfg back between 'Windows XP' and 'Windows 2000' would help, but usually not. Probably just a coincidence though, as sometimes it will run fine anyway and it certainly doesn't work every time.
Tested on the latest git version (wine-0.9.56-264-g848383a), broken there as well as the release version (from gentoo distro wine-0.9.56).
