Summary: Republic Commando demo cannot find my soundcard Product: Wine Version: 0.9.28. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: corran-horn@gmx.de
When I try to start the Star Wars Republic Commando demo, a messagebox pops up showing following error message: "Star Wars Republic Commando has detected that your sound card is either missing or disabled. A sound card is required to play." But I have a working sound card and the sound in the menu of the game works. When I click on OK in the messagebox, the game terminates.
I have done a +relay,+msgbox trace. It seems as if an error occurs in the function DirectSoundCreate() in dsound.dll which returns DSERR_ALLOCATED. MSDN says about this return value: "The request failed because resources, such as a priority level, were already in use by another caller."
The demo is available under http://www.3dgamers.com/dlselect/games/swrepubliccommando/republiccommandode... and http://www.worthdownloading.com/download.php?gid=235&id=3537
