[Bug 29816] New: Homeworld2 1.1 has no audio

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29816

Bug #: 29816
           Summary: Homeworld2 1.1 has no audio
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Since at least April of 2011, Homeword2 1.1 has no audio.
Installation/patching/installing the no-cd patch (needed under 1.1) all works
fine, but the game runs without any sound. Only error I see in the console is
the usual one about "Don't know what to do with 10000 audio channels."

Wine version? Please retest in 1.4-rc2. If still present, get a log as
specified at http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound

Thanks for the help. I've updated as instructed, run with the audio debugging
flags, and attached the resultant log. A little while down I see these lines:

0009:trace:alsa:AUDDRV_GetEndpointIDs 0 0x33e7b8 0x33e7b4 0x33e7b0 0x33e7ac
0009:warn:alsa:alsa_try_open The device "plughw:0,0" failed to open: -16
(Device or resource busy).
0009:warn:alsa:alsa_try_open The device "plughw:0,0" failed to open: -16
(Device or resource busy).

and some others, all of which repeat. But perhaps you can make more sense of it
than I?

Again, the audio test in winecfg itself works just fine.

What Wine version? If it's not wine-1.4-rc2 - upgrade. If problem persists,
remove your wineprefix or try with a clean one.

Thanks for the advice. Sorry I didn't clarify before: the "update" referred to
previously was to wine-1.4-rc2. The prefix is clean. Problem persists. The log
is above.

UPDATE: I've updated to 1.4_rc5, again using a clean prefix. The new audio test
still works fine, but there's no audio in-game. Are there any errors in the
debug log that might help?

Thanks.

I've upgraded to wine-1.4, which seems to have a new alsa driver. I have audio
in the other games I play under wine (EVE Online, Portal 2), but this one -
which is now up to version 8.2.2) still has none.

For what it's worth, the audio device is listed is "HDA ATI-SB - ALC888" in
winecfg. Audio test there works fine.

Have you found anything helpful in the debug text?

Thanks,

A

I grabbed the demo for this game and audio is working fine for me.

Can you attach another log with the latest Wine you have access to (please
mention the version) and include "+quartz,+devenum" in addition to the other
debug channels?

Thanks for the help!

hrm. Well, now I've updated to wine 1.5.0, and I'm back to having no audio in
winecfg (and no audio in any other wine program). This test worked under 1.4.0.
The driver listed is "winealsa.drv." It doesn't make a difference what output I
choose, but the options for "Output Device" are:

(System Default)
HDA ATI SB - ALC888 Digital
HDA ATI SB - ALC888 Analog
default

Anyway, I've attached a log from running the following command:

WINEDEBUG=+tid,+mmdevapi,+winmm,+driver,+midi,+dsound,+dmusic,+mci,+oss,+alsa,+coreaudio,+quartz,+devenum
wine Bin/Release/Homeworld2.exe -mod Complex822.big &> /home/~/winedbg2.txt

Well, that's no good. Can you give a log (usual audio log channels) of just
running winecfg and pressing Test Sound? Let's try to get that working again
before we work on Homeworld 2.

not sure what the problem was with winecfg, but clearing my wineprefix and
installing fresh makes the sound check work again.

Homeworld2, however, still does not :(

Do you have access to a full install? I'm using the full install, patched to
1.1, patched with a no-cd patch (1.1 needs it) and then patched with the
complex mod. However, I already couldn't get audio just with the straight 1.1
version (so it isn't the complex mod).

Thanks for the help.

No, I don't. I tested with the demo I found here
http://www.fileplanet.com/129916/120000/fileinfo/Homeworld-2---Demo. I have
to launch it with the "-nopbuffer" switch. You could try installing that in a
clean prefix and see if it's a problem with just the full game.

Thanks for the link (and sorry for the late reply). I've tried downloading the
demo with no success (they all quit after about 50MB). I'll keep trying.

In the meantime, wine is now at 1.5.6, and I still have no audio in HW2.

Cheers

To recap:
The only sound problem you're having is with HW2, right? You've got winecfg
Test Sound and such working, right?

If that's correct, what would be useful now is:
* A log from Wine 1.5.6 with the full game with the debug channels from Comment
10.
* Confirmation that the demo has the same problem.

For what it's worth:

I get no sound on the demo, either. Attached is the full debug output running

I just discovered something. If you run the game from the Bin/Release
directory, you get sound. If you run it from outside that directory, you get no
sound. Can you try this?

I don't know if it works this way on Windows.

what the…?

You are correct: even running the modded HW2, using the complex mod, I have
sound, *if* I run it from inside the /Release directory. Madness!

So, uh, any idea what's going on with that? And thanks a ton for the simple
insight.

It's probably just the way the application is programmed. I assume it's looking
for some file in the current directory, so if you run it from the wrong
directory, it fails to find that file and as a result audio doesn't work. If
you look at the shortcut on Windows, you'll see it points to .../Bin/Release.
And so does the .desktop file that Wine creates.

I tried to run the demo on my Windows 7 install to see if I could reproduce the
change in behavior there, but it refused to run. Anyways, I'm tempted to close
as INVALID. Would you object to that?

Well, since this doesn't seem to be an issue with how wine itself runs - but
rather lazy programming on the part of HW2 - then yes, I suppose it's invalid.

Now, if we could just get multiplayer working …

(but that's another thread) ;)

Thanks for all the help
