Bug ID: 48106 Summary: Wine doesn't change windows audio settings Product: Wine Version: 4.18 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winealsa.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: loacoon1@gmail.com Distribution: ---
When setting surround 5.1 in winecfg, Windows apps still recognise Windows settings as "stereo". Here is the result of a log file :
"Speaker Configuration: Stereo (Left and right speakers) (IndirectSound can't change your audio device's speaker configuration; if you want to change it you must configure the playback device in Windows)"
I'm guessing Wine should be changing Windows setting when changing it to surround 5.1. This might explain why a LOT of games don't output 5.1 through Wine.
