Summary: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: no sound in movies and no background sound/voices ingame Product: Wine Version: 0.9.61. Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/demos/rotk.zip OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sebastian.friedel@s2005.tu-chemnitz.de
This was mentioned in all test results on AppDb but I found no bugreport for this so far.
The Problem: the game movies do not have any sound whatsoever. Additionally there are background sounds/music and character voices missing ingame. As far as I can tell, the same problem exists in the downloadable demo I linked.
I have played around a bit with ALSA/OSS settings and emulation mode but had no success with it. I'm testing on Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 with kernel 2.6.24-17-generic and snd_intel_hda sound using wine-0.9.61 from wine.budgetdedicated.com repository.
