Bug ID: 38052 Summary: dsound.dll results in very choppy audio Product: Wine Version: 1.7.36 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: therealhdl@gmail.com
Using the native dsound.dll override, as opposed to built-in Wine sound, makes various applications have choppy/stuttering audio. I've mostly tested this with emulators such as pSX, VBA-M, Regen, Kega Fusion, and Gens. Software performance is overall better with dsound.dll enabled, apart from the audio itself.
