[Bug 19860] New: Music won't play on Sega games (Sonic Heroes, Phantasy Star Universe A.I.)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19860

Summary: Music won't play on Sega games (Sonic Heroes, Phantasy
                    Star Universe A.I.)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.28
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.sega.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I can run this games with wine now, but for some reason, sound effects will
play normally, but background music won't play at all. Movies are not playing
either.
I've tried with native QUARTZ, DSOUND, STREAMCI, tried installing codecs with
winetricks. Didn't change a thing.

Maybe it's related to this fixme I'm seeing on both games:

fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x217e78,0x217dc0): stub (SONIC
HEROES)

fixme:dsalsa:IDsDriverBufferImpl_SetVolumePan (0x19f740,0x19f640): stub (PSUAI)

There's a crash there, but it's gameguard crashing, not the game.

It works here... Fedora 11 and wine from GIT.
Does the sound work with other wine applications using dsound?

I also see the FIXME from dsound, but that can be ignored, as it still works.

Yes, it works on all games / applications except those 2 Sega games.

OK, but does it work in the demo on your system?

Tried the demo. The music works with the demo, but not with the retail.

I had this problem and - it seems this is related to the max open file limit in
the system. For Debian and probably other Debian-like distros (Ubuntu, Knoppix,
Mepis etc.) you will have to add something like this:

USERNAME hard nofile 655355

at the bottom of /etc/security/limits.conf - of course replace USERNAME with
your username. Remember to restart your X session.

This fixed my problems with:

Sonic Heroes (no music, no intro) and Sonic Riders (no intro,sounds
missing,can't past character selection screen)

I don't know why wine doesn't check for the limit – it really messes up many
apps.

Please try this out.

I can confirm it worked with SONIC HEROES in my notebook.

Sadly I'm very far away from my desktop with PSU:AI installed, I will only be
able to test it in a month.

If it could check it, what could it do?  Wine is just a user app like any
other.

Can you check to see which files are being opened, how many times and where
from?  Is it Wine which is incorrectly opening a vast number of files or is the
app brain damaged?

Well to find out why there was no music in Sonic Heroes, I had to run game
with:

WINEDEBUG=+all wine SonicHeroes.exe 2> debug.log

and the look for error messages in the log (and there are THOUSANDS of raws of
log in there after few seconds, so this is not pleasant experience) – and there
was a message saying that max opened file limit was reached – IMHO wine should
send this error to the console, so users would find out easily without
debugging.

My comment still stands, we should figure out if the app is just requesting a
lot of files to be opened, maybe forgetting to close them or if the problem is
in Wine.   If it's the latter case then upping the file limit is only a
workaround.

I bet this is neither app nor wine problem – I think this is Windows related –
probably this particular limit doesn't exist in Windows (or it is much higher).
In some Linux distros this problem also doesn't exist because there is higher
limit by default, on others it does. For most apps this is no problem – but for
some this creates silly errors that are very hard to trace. All I would like is
for wine to tell us when the limit is reached – it does so right now, but only
if the low level debug is enabled – which is bad IMHO.

Sadly the /etc/security/limits.conf thing does NOT fix the issue for Phantasy
Star Universe. I'll investigate more.

Another PSU: AOTI log with no music

Log slightly different with more errors about ALSA, not sure if they're
relevant.

I'm renaming the bug, as the problem with Sonic Heroes is solved by raising the
file limit, but the problem with PSUAI persists.

I don't have this problem anymore with Wine 1.2, Xubuntu 10.04, Wine audio
options ALSA and Emulation, AOTI default audio options. Wine is also setup as
Windows ME. Tested with both the offline version and the online version (EGS
server).

I don't have the time right now to test different options but I will if the
problem isn't resolved on your end.
