Bug ID: 42674 Summary: Skyrim audio crackles and pops when Wine is set to Windows 7, plays normally for Windows XP Product: Wine Version: 2.4 Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: alexchandel@gmail.com
After installing Skyrim on a fresh wine prefix with wine-2.4, which defaults to Windows 7, Skyrim's audio crackles and pops and character voices are somewhat distorted.
However, if the Windows version is changed to Windows XP in winecfg, then the audio works perfectly.
This should not happen.
