Bug #: 33658 Summary: Warcraft 3: Crash on missing sound permissions Product: Wine Version: 1.5.30 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sworddragon2@aol.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 44555 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=44555 Crash if no sound is available
If I'm not having the permissions as the audio group Warcraft 3 will crash if it starts (after the splash screen appeared). Adding my account to the audio group solves the problem. In the attachments is a log of such a crash.

--- Comment #2 from sworddragon2@aol.com 2013-05-27 15:17:49 CDT --- Why is this not a Wine bug? Does Warcraft 3 crash on Windows too in this case?

--- Comment #3 from sworddragon2@aol.com 2013-05-27 15:28:06 CDT --- Edit: I have tested this now on some other Wine applications: Diablo 3, Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 are running fine if the sound permissions are missing. Only Warcraft 3 is crashing.

--- Comment #5 from sworddragon2@aol.com 2013-08-10 14:28:08 CDT --- I have now tested this with Windows XP. If I'm disabling the sound device and starting Warcraft 3 it is not crashing - it is even complaining that the sound-service couldn't be initialized. This also means that Warcraft 3 is already catching sound problems and that the crash on Linux could be indeed a bug on Wine.

On Windows with the device manager.

--- Comment #8 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Disabling the sound device in Windows is not the same as not having access to the sound device in Linux. Your system was broken.
I guess Wine shouldn't crash, but...
(In reply to Austin English from comment #4)
Some windows applications will crash in that case. Your user needs access to the audio device.
If that's the case then Wine is mimicking Windows, which it is supposed to do.
Is it even possible to deny access to the sound device in Windows? I've never heard of this ever being done. I doubt that it can be.
