Bug #: 28618 Summary: BC Kings refuses to start without DirectSound hardware acceleration Product: Wine Version: 1.3.29 Platform: x86 URL: http://games.softpedia.com/get/Freeware-Games/BC-Kings -Demo.shtml OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: winealsa.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: gyebro69@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 36771 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=36771 +tid,+winmm,+dsound,+alsa,+mmdevapi,+msgbox log
The game fails to start in git (wine-1.3.29-245-g895b48e), showing the following error message on startup: 'Insufficient hardware support: 16-bit secondary sound buffer is not supported. Mono sound buffer is not supported'
This is after dsound hardware acceleration has been removed: http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/8258a5188cc36563809ac7495e49bc4...
I must add that the game produces the same error message in Virtualbox (WinXP guest) when directsound acceleration set to emulation. I let others with more insight decide whether this bug report is valid or not, in the light of the above fact. However, there should be a way to start BC Kings in recent Wine, shouldn't it? Thus severity -> enhancement.
