[Bug 26271] New: winecfg does not play 'Test Sound'

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26271

Summary: winecfg does not play 'Test Sound'
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.14
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start winecfg
2) Go to Audio tab
3) Select (any) audio driver (example below with ALSA Driver)
4) Click Apply
5) Click Test Sound

Result:
No sound is played

Expected Result:
Sound is played

Interestingly sound works just fine in wine applications (tested with winamp).
So this points to some problem in winecfg.

This has not worked for me since at least 1.3.10.

WINEDEBUG=coreaudio+all winecfg gives:
err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element
fixme:winmm:proc_PlaySound Couldn't play header
fixme:winmm:proc_PlaySound Couldn't play header

Are you using a RedHat build with pulseaudio patches?

Yes. The fedora build includes the pulseaudio patches. However, this also
occurs if the pa subpackages are not installed.

Unless something at buildtime breaks this it is not related to pa.

Please use a normal Wine build, your build can't be supported here.

This is a normal build. As I stated before: If the winepulse patches do not
break the build itself (which I doubt) they are not related to the bug
described here.

For the fun of it I did a rebuild w/o the pa patches and the bug persists...
reopening.

You should report a bug when:
You haven't modified Wine in any way (i.e. you are using a prepackaged binary
or built from source by doing: "./configure ; make depend ; make")

winepulse patches do modify Wine source, if you are using such a Wine build
you need to report all bugs with it to its packager, not here.

As long as you are using vanilla Wine source this bug is valid.

I've added a clarification to http://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs what "You haven't
modified Wine in any way" means for broken or unsupported Wine packages like
FC builds with unofficial pulseaudio patches.

Please consider building Wine package without any modifications, or clearly
state that your builds include unofficial and not supported patches, so that
users know that they can not report bugs to WineHQ using your builds.

For future reference, coreaudio is a MacOS audio driver.

Of course you are right.

winecfg+all,alsa+all,winmm+all

gives the same messages.

This is because winepulse does not support WODM_PREPARE

you should ask the author of winepulse ?

+    case WODM_PREPARE:
+    case WODM_UNPREPARE:
+
+    case WODM_GETPITCH:
+    case WODM_SETPITCH:
+
+    case WODM_GETPLAYBACKRATE:

> Really invalid then?

Yes, for two reasons:
1) Non-upstream patch (winepulse) is in use.
2) Even if winepulse WAS supported by Wine, the problem appears to be winepulse
is missing a feature, and winepulse bugs are not tracked at winehq (because of
#1).

AFAIK , wine pick up the first checked audio driver , so you must uncheck all
the audio drivers which are above your selected driver in winecfg
