Bug ID: 35852
           Summary: Sound plays too fast, alsa underruns
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.15
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Log of the audio during bug

When playing Guild Wars 2, occasionally the sound will bug out and start
playing the audio extremely quickly (2 to 5 times as fast by the sound of it)
with a lot of static.

Pavucontrol shows the "ALSA plug-in [wine-preloader]" being recreated very
quickly (It flickers into and off the window, looks like it's being recreated
every time)

wineserver -k doesn't fix it

The only way to stop it is to kill pulseaudio and start again. This requires
restarting any other program playing audio (Not the most useful workaround)

I've attached the output of this command from when the bug was happening:

WINEDEBUG="+alsa,+sound" wine Gw2.exe -dx9single 2>&1 | tail -n 1000 >
gw2audio.log

(The final line is where I stopped it with xkill)

Another one, Wine 1.7.22 / Mint 17

Sound starts fine, but after a random period of time, it starts jittering
(and/or disappearing completely) and alsa-preloader flickers in the sound
preferences. No solution except shutting down all wine apps and starting again,
which is pretty annoying.

For me this happens quite quickly in Tropico 3/4 (even immediately on startup),
so it may be a good way to reproduce the issue with a demo of one of those two.

By default, Pulseaudio and ALSA cannot share an output. I had the same problem
in Neverwinter, but fixed it by setting up dmix. See

Is this still an issue? There was a significant improvement to our ALSA driver
in Wine 1.7.34. If it's still a problem, can you list your PulseAudio version
here and also include a log with channels from http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound?

I've never had a problem like this with wine 1.7.35+ (didn't tested wine
1.7.34).
It is fixed now.

But you had before?

Can someone else confirm that he doesnt have this issue anymore?
