Summary: sound dead after running certain apps Product: Wine Version: 20030709 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-multimedia AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: spyderusa11@hotmail.com
Some programs, it seems to be the ones that use DirectSound, will play sound fine, but will kill sound for the rest of the system once started. Other Windows apps that use other methods of audio play fine but don't have any problems. For example, I can run a game that uses DirectSound and exit it, and the sound will not work in any other application (Linux or Windows). However, if I run the same program, or another one that uses DirectSound, the sound still works there but only there. Running /sbin/fuser /dev/dsp says nothing is using the device and ps ax reports nothing out of the ordinary (including wine or wineserver) continuing to run. If I try to play an MP3 in XMMS, the position indicator fast forwards through the file with no speaker output. The only way to get the sound back (that I've figure out so far) is to restart the computer.
I'm using RedHat 9 on a Gateway P4-M laptop with ESS1988 sound (maestro3 driver).
