Summary: Intermittent audio looping in Beyond Good and Evil Product: Wine Version: 0.9.61. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-dsound AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ben-dev@gmx.net
Created an attachment (id=12801) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=12801) dsound trace
The sound in Beyond Good and Evil is badly broken. Around half of the audio clips (whether they're music, voice or effects) start playing but get stuck in a ~2 second continuous loop (i.e. the first ~2 seconds of the clip play over and over again) and this continues until a scene change.
I've tested this on Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 with alsa, oss and jack and nothing helped.
In the trace, I can't see anything obvious. It looks a bit like the application stops responding to SetEvent()s. In the attached file, the only sound you can hear is looping for the last half of the trace.
The problems vary from run to run - pretty much any of the audio clips might break on any given run. I searched bugzilla but couldn't see any bugs for this problem.

I tried running it with +relay to see what was happening when SetEvent() is not being processed. Line 344400 is surprising:

--- Comment #2 from Ben Mayhew ben-dev@gmx.net 2008-05-08 04:50:33 --- I was able to workaround the problem a little bit by adding a critical section on This->device->mixlock around IDirectSoundBufferImpl_Lock.
So it looks like the problem is because there are two separate locking mechanisms for dsound - the critical section and the RtlAcquireResource calls on This->lock inside buffer.c

--- Comment #4 from Ben Mayhew ben-dev@gmx.net 2008-05-08 15:38:51 --- I just downloaded the demo (from gamezone as gamershell didn't work). The demo has more problems than the dvd version but run with -d3d_draw,-d3d the first part was playable.
Yes, the demo does have the same problems but it's much harder to hear them while playing but if you just leave the title screen up you'll notice that the background "music" often gets stuck in a loop.

--- Comment #5 from Ben Mayhew ben-dev@gmx.net 2008-05-08 15:50:59 --- P.S. If you've got any ideas as to what might be causing the problems, I'll be happy to investigate. I've been going through the code of dsound quite heavily but I haven't found any real problems yet. Changing the locks around makes some improvements but that just suggests it's a timing issue in some other part of the code.

I think I've found the direct cause of the problems. I added some debug to WaitForMultipleObjects and compared the handles to the ones passed to SetNotificationPositions.
It looks like the app doesn't always wait for the notifications (i.e. 0xac & 0xd0 are left out of the call to WaitForMultipleObjects) and thus the thread doesn't get woken up in time for the audio.
If this analysis is correct then that suggests that the real problem is that one of the other events is not being sent when it should. (And I thought this couldn't get any more complicated :-( ).
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13046
--- Comment #7 from Ben Mayhew ben-dev@gmx.net 2008-05-09 13:19:41 --- The events that the thread is waiting for when it gets stuck all belong to the main thread and there are no clues as to why they should or shouldn't be triggered.
So I guess there's no sensible way of progressing. Hopefully it's an indirect result of another bug and will get fixed automatically.

--- Comment #28 from athom athomber@gmail.com 2010-10-14 05:55:35 CDT --- So Raymond, according to you it's a thing with the samplerate? You can select some rate for directsound in the winecfg application, but there's no 10000Hz, or am I getting it all wrong where you're going? Do we need to use some sort of command?

--- Comment #29 from Raymond superquad.vortex2@gmail.com 2010-10-14 07:19:24 CDT --- Setformat
The method succeeds even if the hardware does not support the requested format; DirectSound sets the buffer to the closest supported format. To determine whether this has happened, an application can call the GetFormat method for the primary buffer and compare the result with the format that was requested with the SetFormat method.
The point is whether winealsa.drv can set the buffer to the closest supported format.
It is not clear that which is the closest

--- Comment #30 from Raymond superquad.vortex2@gmail.com 2010-10-14 07:29:44 CDT --- e.g. dmix 's default sample rate is 48000Hz
but if the sound card support 44100Hz , you can change the dmix's sample rate to 44100Hz, so resample by wine is easy as Dsound request 22050Hz or 11025Hz

Yes I get the idea of what you're saying, though it's rather technical. The game has a hard time getting the right samplerate? I actually read the API which described that SetFormat method of the soundbuffer class.
So if what you say is correct and indeed the cause of the sound problem (because I'm not an expert in that area), what is it that an enduser must concretely do in order to fix this? Because that's what we're all after of course. I already tried to poke around with the settings, but that didn't do anything good.
I have to note btw, that Beyond Good & Evil is a real b*tch when it comes to compatiblity. It is my favorite game, else I wouldn't go through all of the trouble.

--- Comment #33 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2011-07-23 08:19:25 CDT --- The same problem here with Wine-1.3.25. It's not just music but certain dialogues are also looping during gameplay.
The resampler patchset (bug #14717) didn't help (applied on a former, 1.3.14 version of Wine) Changing 'defaults.pcm.dmix.rate' to 44100 in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf also had no effect on the problem.
On AppDB others suggest installing native dsound.dll. Well, it worked for me only partially: although the looping music issue was fixed but dialogues/voice-overs are skipping frequently. In a spoken sentence only the first couple of words can be heard, the rest is skipped.

Good news, i found a solution to have no problems with sound in this game. Actually, the problems are : - Audio looping - Voice and character are not synchronized.
I have actually the Steam version but it could work with the CD Version. You must to launch "SettingsApplication.exe" and go to "Audio Configuration".
In "Sound Card", "Primary Sound Card" is choosen by default. Change with you're real sound card. For me, it's an Intel sound card. See my screenshot.
Save your change, launch the game and the problem disappear. :)

Thanks,

Both time I selected the plain device in Advanced setup (just in case), and still get random sounds looping.

No change with 1.6-rc2 for me.
If i install "dsound" winetricks the looping disappear but i have always no sync between sound and video. Even if i use : - Full Processing.exe in the game folder - "performance" in "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" - Slowdown.exe
Like it's explain on the game AppDB page.

--- Comment #43 from Berillions berillions@gmail.com 2013-09-11 06:03:37 CDT --- Guys, i maybe found a solution to resolv this problem. Before, small explainations :
1- As it's explain on the AppDB page for "Beyond Good and Evil", there are intermittent audio looping when the "dsound" dll from Wine is used. BUT the video and audio are not out-of-sync.
2- With "winetricks dsound", the intermittent audio looping disappear but the video and audio are out-of-sync.
------
In fact, the problem #2 come from the dsound dll installed by winetricks. Winetricks use "directx9_feb_2010" installer to replace the fake dll. The dll version for dsound in Dx9 installer is 5.x => Windows XP version
I tried BG&E in my real Win7 partition and the game works correctly (problem #1/#2 don't exist). If i look the dsound dll from System32 folder, it's the 6.x version => Win7 version
So in my wineprefix, i replace WinXP dsound dll (installed by winetricks) by the Win7 dsound dll (from my real partition) and now when i play at BG&E, i haven't intermittent audio looping and the video and audio are not out-of-sync.
In resume : 1- Install BG&E from Uplay or CD or Steam 2- Replace dsound.dll by this dll downloaded here :http://www.down-dll.com/index.php?file-download=dsound.dll&arch=32Bit&am... 3- Set Wine to Win7 in winecfg and set set dsound=native 4- Play :)
I need your tests to confirm this workaround.
Thanks, Max

I tried your suggestion on top of Wine 1.6, and while it may require some more testing, I must say that on first run and with no further tweaking it gave me the best experience I ever had with this game: no desync, no looping, no cut voices!
Excellent!
Regards, Pierre.

--- Comment #45 from Ronny Schmatzler schmatzler@googlemail.com --- Tested on Wine 1.7.11 - the sounds are not looping anymore without any 3rd party DLL's.
While checking on bug 13486 however, I experienced that the game is not playing some sounds at all, if the CPU is throttled.
When I set my CPU to the full speed using the following command, the game is playing all sounds perfectly:
echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
In my opinion, the original issue is fixed now and I would close this bug and reopen a new one for the throttling issue.

--- Comment #46 from Pierre Etchemaite pe-winehq@concept-micro.com --- I tested with Wine 1.7.11, no native DLLs, background busyloop to prevent the cpu from switching frequencies, and I still randomly get sound looping. Setting windows version to seven didn't help either.

--- Comment #51 from noabody@yahoo.com --- Still present on Wine-stable 3.0 but... the sound problem reportedly affects this software in modern versions of Microsoft Windows and therefore it is not a problem in Wine per-se.
If we were using a game emulator for comparison, perfect emulation should replicate and bugs that were present on actual hardware. Numerous threads exist which discuss various approaches to resolution. I found these three, in particular, quite useful.

Using the dsound.dll method I noticed my CPU ramped up to full speed so I suspect it has the same effect as the FullProcessing.exe. Just need to drop dsound.dll in the root of the game folder and create a dll over-ride for BGE.exe that specifies native over built-in.
Your mileage may vary.
