Bug ID: 52659
           Summary: No sound for games that utilize windows media player
                    functionality
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.1
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

Some games I play rely on using sound functionality with Windows Media Player
(Version 9) in order to produce the sound. Up to and including Wine version
7.0, this functionality worked.  After I applied version 7.1 (wine-devel) and
subsequent versions, the sound functionality ceased to work, and the games emit
no sound.  I hoped that someone had already reported this issue, but I see it
has not been reported up to this point.  As a process of elimination, I
reviewed the list of changes for version 7.1, focusing on any reference to
"sound" or "audio" and temporarily replaced files "winmm.dll" and
"mfmediaengine.dll", but this did not resolve the issue.  So, the issue appears
to lie elsewhere.  Let me know if there are some tests I can run as I have a
virtual machine set up with "wine-stable" installed and a virtual machine set
up with "wine-devel" installed.

Regards,

Craig
