Bug ID: 41970 Summary: Clickteam games' sound crackles Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: winealsa.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fuhiwohe@nincsmail.com Distribution: ---
Since i changed my old SB Live! sound card to an Audigy Rx, Clickteam games (created with KnP, TGF, MMF series) are playing MIDI and sounds with stuttering and crackling under WIME. My OS is Debian 8 AMD64 and i use the latest WINE, but earlier versions are affected too. (I tried 1.6 from the repo, that does it too.)
If i run the game from console then sometimes i get the line
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1667:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card
at the beginning and
ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
sometimes, randomly. However the sound is (mostly) continously crackling and i only get this last one sometimes only.
The noise become more intense if i open a window inside the game (e.g.: password window)
No other type of games affected, even other games which uses MIDI are OK. Just the Clickteam created ones. Also native sound and MIDI playing are perfectly OK, so it's not ALSA or the soundcard itself. I've checked old bugreports about crackling sound, but all of them were pulse related and since pulseaudio is not installed on my machine and i also compiled WINE with the "--without-pulse" option, thus this must be something in the WINE ALSA driver.
Also, it does not change anything if i change the emulation type between Win98 or WinXp.
No crashlogs, since there are no crashes.
Please tell me if i should provide something.
