Bug ID: 41599 Summary: Battle.net and Hearthstone play loud static when receiving messages Product: Wine Version: 1.9.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ilmansonic@abv.bg Distribution: ---
On the 22.10.2016 Battle.net received an update adding built-in voice chat. Now whenever someone sends you a message, a loud static noise is played instead of a regular click sound. The terminal doesn't show anything when that happens. I'm running this on Fedora 24 and PulseAudio. No other applications, whether from Wine or native cause similar problems.

--- Comment #1 from abel.thorne@free.fr --- I can confirm the same issue on Ubuntu 16.10 with Wine 1.9.21 (either regular dev version or staging). A few precisions: - Outside of games, the notification sound only plays when a friends sends you a message and the chat window doesn't have focus (i.e. opened on another virtual desktop). - Inside HearthStone, the glitched sound happens when a friend sends you a message (a chat bubble appears in game) but not when you send a message to a friend (which also plays a sound and I think it's supposed to be the same one). - I haven't checked if it happens in other games.

--- Comment #2 from caine thanatos cainethanatos@gmail.com --- I have a similar issue using:
- Ubuntu 16.04 ((Xenial Xerus)) - wine-1.9.20 (Staging)
It started with the update of Battle.net when they added voice support.
Steps to re-create the loud static : - launch Battle.net - on the right of your username on the right top, you have a blue symbol - click on the blue symbol - it opens a new small window , with your friends - click on create channel - close the 'Invite to channel' , you don't need it - then click on the blue headset on the top window , to enable it - * hear the lovely distortion, that will drive you - disable it , and you will hear it again.
I played with the audio samplerate , changed it to 48000 , to 96000, no impact.

--- Comment #3 from caine thanatos cainethanatos@gmail.com --- I see this message popping up, when enabling/disabling the chat :
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option 77 STUB fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT/DATA_SEND_TIMEOUT 15000 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option 77 STUB
going to upgrade wine, and then ubuntu

Same issue, when I play WoW and somebody sends me a /w, it basically blow my speakers off. This started after the new patch came out.

--- Comment #7 from Mason Loring Bliss mason@blisses.org --- Just to confirm, I see this under both Wine 1.9.18 and 1.9.23 under CentOS 7. The sound is independant of Hearthstone volume.
The problem is actually with the Battle.net launcher. If I change the settings such that the Battle.net launcher quits when I launch a game, the horrible ear-splitting blatting noise doesn't happen.
I have yet to examine if there are settings to control sound in the launcher, but this is a workaround for now.
There's a real risk of hearing damage with this sound. It's intensely loud. I had to have my system volume almost all the way off to be able to tolerate it, before I found the workaround.

--- Comment #8 from winetest@luukku.com --- If you really want this bug to be fixed, it most likely needs some audio channels debug while the sound happens. WINE FAQs for more info. Just confirming the bug multiple times doesnt get it fixed.

Workaround (works for me currently): Go to Battle.net app's settings, then go to "Sound & Notifications". I unchecked all checkboxes and set the selects to "None" in the "Play a sound" column. This fixed the issue for me.

--- Comment #10 from celestialtuba@gmail.com --- I can confirm this is happening to me as well. This was happening to me on Ubuntu 14.04 using Wine 1.9.16, as well as on 4.8.8-2 Arch using 1.9.23. It started for me on the voice chat patch. It does seem to be coming from battle.net as others suggested, however in addition to whenever I receive a /w, it also happens when one of my "favorite" friends logs on or off. I'd be happy to provide anything I can to try to help fix this issue.

Now that I think of it, I think this coincided with installing pulseaudio. I remember I was relieved when I installed WoW on Arch that I wasn't getting the loud bursts of static anymore, and out of the blue it started happening again. I did not connect the dots in my head until I saw someone say something about pulseaudio, so I think this may be a pulseaudio specific thing.

Wow, you weren't kidding. That is really loud!
This is because are missing support for converting 24-bit audio in msacm. I've submitted a patch to fix this: http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/128314

Nothing to do with PulseAudio. Likely your ALSA setup was allowing only one application to play audio at a time, so the B.net client was unable to play its broken audio. Installing PA allowed multiple applications to play audio, and now you can hear the bug.

Most likely, but this bug affected many people and there are recent comments so let's wait a bit to check if a real affected user can confirm its fixed.
