Bug ID: 51930 Summary: Final Fantasy XIV audio broken in wine-6.20 Product: Wine Version: 6.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: xaudio2 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: achurch+wine@achurch.org Regression SHA1: d8be85863fedf6982944d06ebd1ce5904cb3d4e1 Distribution: ---
Final Fantasy XIV (main game and Stormblood benchmark, which is the only benchmark that currently seems to work in Wine) no longer plays audio in Wine 6.20. This is a regression from 6.19. XAudio-based audio output from other applications seems to work fine.
git bisect blames d8be85863fedf6982944d06ebd1ce5904cb3d4e1 "xaudio: Use the bundled FAudio and build with msvcrt." If I back out that commit against 6.20 and build with the FAudio 21.01 installed on my system, FFXIV audio works fine again.
May I ask why you're removing options to build with external libraries? It makes it much more difficult to work around problems like this.
