Summary: Half-Life 2 engine games have bad sound stutter Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: test AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ben@atomnet.co.uk
Sound in any Half-Life 2 game stutters badly adding what sounds like static to the sound in the process and making it very hard to listen to (as well as sounding plain awful).
This doesn't seem to be bug 7693 as there is nothing (at all) printed in the terminal about sound and it happens regardless if you are using ALSA or OSS.
