[Bug 32620] New: Warcraft Voice Chat cannot capture voice.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32620

Bug #: 32620
           Summary: Warcraft Voice Chat cannot capture voice.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.20
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winealsa.drv
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Playing WoW (MoP) with Wine 1.5.17, 18, 20:

The built-in voice chat functionality is no longer capturing voice correctly,
and sounds like "R2D2 on drugs" instead. This can be reproduced both during
"live" char sessions and also when testing "capture" from the Voice settings
panel.

I have reproduced this bug both with and without PulseAudio; with Intel HDA,
Audigy 2 and Xonar D1 cards. So I must assume that this is something relating
to Wine and ALSA.

Capturing audio from the command line via:
$ arecord -t wav -f cd -d 5 > test.wav

results in a correct WAV file.

This definitely used to work with earlier versions of WoW/Wine.

And "no", I can't remember which were the precise last versions of Wine/WoW
where voice capture worked. And it's impossible to downgrade WoW to that
version again anyway. (I dimly recall MoP being unplayable with Wine when it
was released too).

However, this bug would be trivial for other people to confirm because it
happens with the "Voice Test".

Possibly fixed by:

commit 508b0c9c44349a5d980e0f1ee0ba4fca871bd2cb
Author: Andrew Eikum 
Date:   Thu May 16 09:24:31 2013 -0500

dsound: Don't overrun capture buffer.

Which would make this bug related to bug #31684.

I've noticed that the "R2D2 on Drugs" effect no longer happens on my 32 bit box
with an Audigy2 sound card and running Wine 1.5.25. However, it still happens
with my x86_64 box with an Intel HDA sound card running Wine 1.5.29.

This bug appears to be a "32 bit vs 64 bit" problem. For me, the "Voice
Capture" works with the 32 bit Wow.exe and is "R2D2" with Wow-64.exe. However,
I've heard of one case where it's working with Wow-64.exe but is broken with
Wow.exe - go figure?!

I can also confirm this bug. For the time being I have found that wine 1.4.1
doesn't exhibit the problem and appears to play ok. All versions of 1.5.x and
1.6 seem to give me the r2d2 effect on my Lenovo X1 Carbon even though
everything else works perfectly.

If there is anything I can do to help debug the issue I would be happy to help.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a
year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.37 or newer) wine? If so, please
attach the terminal output in 1.7.37 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).

I suspect that this bug is another manifestation of bug #31684. And the "R2D2
on drugs" problem appears to be fixed now.
