[Bug 13019] New: Half-Life(CS 1.6): SoundBlaster Live - microphone output harshy and chopped
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13019
Summary: Half-Life(CS 1.6): SoundBlaster Live - microphone output harshy and chopped Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: lays25@o2.pl
People have been reporting it to work on some integrated audio chips, but on my SoundBlaster Live I can't get it working in any way. When using the Microphone Test in the Voice tab from the Options menu, the output I hear is partial (sometimes i hear the last letter, sometimes the middle ones), the sound quality is extremely poor and harshy. When using the Voicecom during game, people report the same thing to me as they can't hear me properly. I use ALSA - on OSS the microphone wouldn't even record ar all. I tried all combinations of sound options in winecfg - none seemed to work.

--- Comment #1 from Chris thefishface@gmail.com 2008-05-11 09:45:15 --- I think I'm experiencing the same bug, but here's exactly what I've noticed:
In the "settings" panel, if I test my microphone I hear myself, but at regular, frequent intervals, the sound cuts out entirely. I've had a conversation with someone over Steam friends, and they said they described it as "cuts out a lot." In game, I try saying something every so often but never get a response, and one or two people have said they don't hear anything when my "exclamation mark" is up. I'm not sure whether this is because the output is perhaps too quiet or because it's not making any sound at all.
I'll test this further when I get a chance.

OSS microphone is silent, ALSA is as said before. True linux programs works fine (arecord, teamspeak, skype). EVE under Cedega has the same problem with ALSA, but OSS microphone works.

are your sound card using emu10k1 driver ?
emu10k1 driver has constraint on the period size of capture stream ?
static unsigned int capture_period_sizes[31] = { 384, 448, 512, 640, 384*2, 448*2, 512*2, 640*2, 384*4, 448*4, 512*4, 640*4, 384*8, 448*8, 512*8, 640*8, 384*16, 448*16, 512*16, 640*16, 384*32, 448*32, 512*32, 640*32, 384*64, 448*64, 512*64, 640*64, 384*128,448*128,512*128 };

This is the output of the "WINEDEUG=+wave wine Steam.exe" command (I launched CS1.6 from Steam and started the microphone test).
I don't know if anything can be made out of that so put in other words, the sound configuration used is as follows:
Hardware acceleration - Emulation (also tested with Full) Default polling frequency = 44100 Bits per sample - 16
Please forgive me if I did anything wrong. And if I did, please explain what to do exactly.
Also, what is this and what to do with that?

When I go to "Voice" in "Options" and I push the button "Test Microphone" I can hear me cutted and I see the vumeter bar up and down continiously. Using emulation or full hardware acceleration, OSS or ALSA in winecfg does not make sense. But I can use my microphone in Skype, Gizmo, Audacity, record, arecord, whatever native program without problems.
Wine version 1.3.5 in Ubuntu 10.04
And, why the status of this bug is "Unconfirmed" if here are some people experiencing the same?

--- Comment #18 from Anyeos anyeos@cieloaragua.sytes.net 2010-11-02 20:31:13 CDT --- Sorry, more information: My system: Ubuntu 10.04 but pulseaudio disabled at all (removed and replaced with alsa).
I just asked a friend how he hear me in the game (when I'm pressing K) and the same what people are saying here (my voice go in and out but the speaker icon is permanent).
So the problem is related with sb live, alsa, and wine.
I attacked my output of WINEDEBUG="+wave"

AFAIK, aplay don't like one period per buffer
you can know the parameter used by wine when the game is recording

Is this game using winmm or dsound to capture ?
How do you config the alsa "default" device or you are using registry UseDirectHw="Y" ?
seem that hw:0,0 does not support 8bits but winealsa.drv/waveinit.c
*flags |= DSCAPS_SECONDARY8BIT | DSCAPS_SECONDARY16BIT;
so winealsa.drv have to perform 8bits to 16bits conversion if you are using hw:0,0 to record

--- Comment #31 from VisN visualnick@mail.ru 2010-12-25 23:03:57 CST --- I dont know the way to determine the game using winmm or dsound, but this string in wine output probably means that the game is using winmm: fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open
Default sound card(SB Live 5.1!) is configured by default(have no asound.conf or .asoundrc), using registry UseDirectHw="Y" makes no sense for me.

--- Comment #32 from Raymond superquad.vortex2@gmail.com 2010-12-26 21:12:49 CST --- I guess the problem is in CS since some users also report the mic problem when using windows
The other point is that snd-emu10k1 must use "front","rear" device for playback to front or rear jacks by changing the internal routing and application cannot use "front" device for capture
This is the reason why wineoss does not work when wine are using ALSA's OSS emulation
some version of PA server still use "front" device for both playback and capture
since wine cannot use the old convention "default:x" to use the sound card x 's default device (i.e. "default" device in /usr/share/alsa/cards/EMU10k1.conf " when your linux distribution override the "default" device" by "pulse"
add the following enty in your .asoundrc
pcm.wine { type asym playback.pcm "front:0" capture.pcm "plughw:0,0" }

--- Comment #35 from VisN visualnick@mail.ru 2010-12-28 02:39:17 CST --- well the sound with Intel HDA is not so perfect, it turned out with a deeper test, I think its the same problem. There is no sound interrupts like with SB Live, so transmits all words(not partial), but its still harhy and low quality. The longer transmit sesstion, the sound becomes worse...
