Bug ID: 48106 Summary: Wine doesn't change windows audio settings Product: Wine Version: 4.18 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winealsa.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: loacoon1@gmail.com Distribution: ---
When setting surround 5.1 in winecfg, Windows apps still recognise Windows settings as "stereo". Here is the result of a log file :
"Speaker Configuration: Stereo (Left and right speakers) (IndirectSound can't change your audio device's speaker configuration; if you want to change it you must configure the playback device in Windows)"
I'm guessing Wine should be changing Windows setting when changing it to surround 5.1. This might explain why a LOT of games don't output 5.1 through Wine.

The full console of what? Winecfg?
Hello,
Full console of one windows app that exhibit the issue, preferably a simple one that is freely & legally available to download and that gives some feedback about the audio system it sees.
Could be useful to have a WINEDEBUG=+alsa output too.
Regards.

--- Comment #5 from loacoon1@gmail.com --- First a Oops. It's Pulse and not Alsa. I tried to change it yesterday but it didn't save the change...
So I tried with VLC and a DD movie. Had 2.0 sound...
Console output attached with WINEDEBUG=+pulse.
Do you want the output of the game I was triyng?

--- Comment #9 from loacoon1@gmail.com --- I tried with Alsa as the audio driver.
The problem was the same, and the console output was close except it didn't event have the "channel : 6" lines. Can post one if needed.

--- Comment #10 from Josh Billingsley xvbadbendervx+winebugz@gmail.com --- Created attachment 69592 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=69592 hack to force 5.1 instead of stereo
Probably not any help toward a real solution, but I just started using this hack to get surround sound working in some FMOD-using games (World of Warcraft, Star Trek Online, RAGE 2).
I couldn't get them to detect 5.1 surround any other way.
