[Bug 12228] New: No ALSA support for external soundcard since 0.9.57

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12228

Summary: No ALSA support for external soundcard since 0.9.57
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.57.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Until 0.9.56, Wine allowed me to use an external USB soundcard as well as
built-in Intel HDA sound through ALSA. In Windows applications (e.g.
foobar2000) I could select the internal sound card as dimx:0 and the USB sound
card as dmix:1. Since 0.9.57, however, when the external USB sound card is
plugged in I get two dmix:0 entries, both select the internal sound. I see
these two entries both in foobar2000 and in winecfg under ALSA Driver/Wave Out
Devices. The external soundcard still is accessible through the OSS driver.

I'm using Wine 0.9.58 from the Wine repositories under Ubuntu 7.10. The
external soundcard is an M-Audio USB Transit (with madfu driver).

Try:
$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.bak
$ wineprefixcreate
$ wine your-program.exe

And retest. If still a problem, then please run a regression test:

I can confirm this bug. I'm enable to select ALSA device. After plugging in my
USB headset, the additional output device is listed as dmix:0, just like the
first one. The input part of it is not listed at all.

The OSS driver works better, kind of. But there is no input available there..
ugghhh....

Anyway, I can confirm this but in 1.0-rc2 and all previous ones. HAven't tried
if it worked before 0.9.57 as sound was less stable back then....

I'm having this issue on my desktop PC and I have -only one sound-card-. So it
affects more than just people with external cards.

The X-Fi Elite Pro has no drivers loaded though (as none exist for it) so it's
completely ignored by the system.

This patch breaks the launcher of Rome total war demo.

Otherwise, the sounds works quite fine for me. Bu this patch makes this crash.

For me it works quite different.

I have a SB Live! card and a HDA VIA 8.1 onboard card. WINE didn't work with
HDA VIA card, so I've disabled it in BIOS. It doesn't work with SB Live!
either, but only when I try to play games (no sound output on any of the jacks,
everything in alsamixer is set to maximum).

The funny thing is, that it does play the sound in winecfg when you click "Test
Sound" button. It doesn't work only in games (I have to use OSS).

The solution is EXACTLY what Ulrich Keller wrote in the 2nd comment, in March.

winealsa: Use "default" as the default card name instead of "default:0".

Revert this and the issue is resolved.

The issue is NOT about "no ALSA suppose since <blah>". It is about alsa driver
displaying the names of the sound device during enumeration as dmix:0 multiple
times. With the reversion of the above patch, for some reason not quite clear
to me, the two sound devices are listed as dmix:0 for the first one, and dmix:1
for the second. This allows for device selection once again.

*AGAIN*, the problem is sound device *selection*. And there is sound always.
For people complaining there is no sound, they should check the "other" sound
device that is listed under same name. The sound is most likely routed there
(there may be 2+ logical sound devices with one physical one, for example)

For me the following registry key helped (wine 1.1.32):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alsa Driver\AutoScanDevices -> yes

The two dmix:0 devices disappeared from the list and all installed devices
appeared with their real names.

Only testing in the control panel didn't work, because it always used the first
device from the list (which was my external USB Device).

Partly reverts the patch that caused this issue

While this patch doesn't change the name from default, it seems to make all
programs work now. Foobar2000 works without issues and the Rome: Total War Demo
works fine. If others could test this patch it would be appreciated.

This is because pulseaudio override "pcm!default"

alsa-lib previously use the "pcm!default" definition in
/usr/share/alsa/pcm/default.conf to access the sound card's default device
specified in /usr/share/alsa/cards/*.conf

I've not encountered this issue again on any of my 4 machines, two of them have
their default soundcards overridden via asound.conf (due to selecting the wrong
audio device by default) and Wine still works without problems. Also no issues
using a different audio-device in PulseAudio either.

Is anyone else still encountering "no sound" issues where the device they are
trying to use is the device they have configured to be the default in ALSA?
