[Bug 30628] New: Battlefield Bad Company 2 audio doesn't work in-game

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30628

Bug #: 30628
           Summary: Battlefield Bad Company 2 audio doesn't work in-game
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

I have this game and installed it easily from iso , program launches normally
with audio working but as soon as it arrives main menu it mutes audio.

I have it set manually to DX9 and i have no problem playing online in servers
unranked (no PunkBuster) but audio never works. ...performance of game is not
bat at all BTW....using wine 1.5.3 with several M$ stuff like vc++2005 2008 and
2010 ,etc. ("regular" stuff that i use with all games that are anyway installed
by many games by default)...

Any clue why audio is mutting as soon as arrives main menu of game but plays
well till then ?!?

You should retest in wine git, there has been several sound related patches
lately.

OK, here it was i found out...

I uninstalled everything , "gitted" the most recent version of wine, compiled
everything , installed everything from scratch including game but problem was
still present...until my spiderman sense entered in action :D

Just like we have to edit manually the file ~/BFBC2/settings.ini to change
option...

DxVersion=auto

to...

DxVersion=9

...I started to look around in that file and discovered that there was a
setting that clearly seemed incorrect...somehow the GAME is UNABLE to figure
out HOW MANY speakers i have in my rig and decides to write this in the
settings.ini file...

SpeakerCount=0

...so, i simply edited it to read...

SpeakerCount=2

...and now everything is OK :D

The weird thing that didn't made me search for this possibility in 1st place
was that game was playing music has it was loading...only when reaching main
menu had the problem...i wonder why game is unable to figure out by itself the
speaker configuration...

Nice discovery. If you can find out when that file is created, we can try to
track down why it guesses at 0 speakers. Try to find out when the file is
created (installation? first run? every run?) and gather a log with the
channels from http://wiki.winehq.org/Sound, then attach it here.

Thanks :)

OK, the file is created at 1st run (and NOT at install time) and is only
changed if we change graphical,etc. settings in the game menus...

So, as long as we don't mess around with audio settings i'm sure that it will
never touches the speaker config again...or simply can't figure out how...

I'm a bit noobish as feedback traces, logs,etc,etc. so here it goes...

I used this command in the terminal and got a log of 9.6MB  and that is too big
for normal attach here...

WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid,+mmdevapi,+winmm,+driver,+midi,+dsound,+dmusic,+mci,+oss,+alsa,+coreaudio
 wine BFBC2Game.exe &> ~/output2.txt

If this log is not what you need , please provide complete command line
parameters...if possible, something that produces something small enough !

Yeah, that's pretty close. You definitely don't want +relay, that makes the log
file huge. Try this:

$ rm -f ~/output2.txt
$
WINEDEBUG=+seh,+tid,+mmdevapi,+winmm,+driver,+midi,+dsound,+dmusic,+mci,+oss,+alsa,+coreaudio
 wine BFBC2Game.exe &>> ~/output2.txt
$ gzip ~/output2.txt

Then upload ~/output2.txt.gz as an attachment.

Hm, there is absolutely nothing interesting in that log. If you've still got
that +relay log, it might turn up something more interesting. Try using gzip
again to see if that becomes small enough to attach.

I just send the requested log but i just got a better idea....

I have a felling that problem is not (only) at 1st run...but at *second* run
(also) !!!

I start to believe that game starts by creating a default settings.ini file
that latter in the game 1st run possibly is updated onthefly...BUT because in
WINE, game get's stuck because of the Dx10 version, we have to abort game
launch....after we edit file , we finally can launch game...but game fails to
figure out speaker configuration *because* it assumes that file was created
correctly (!?!) and proceeds with it's initialization *and* creation of several
other files in that folder all with base in that file...

What you think about i make a log of the game *second* run with only DX level
corrected but still with speakers at 0 ?!?

That's not a bad idea. You could also try removing the Speakers line entirely
and seeing if it tries to guess again. If you come up with something
interesting, let us know.

BFBC2 2nd run with line corrected

This is my 1st of 3 attachments...i will send next two if you want to....i will
need to break one in two parts because even with gzip they are 1.5MB each...
These two logs not send yet are of 2nd runs with incorrect value in the line
and of a 2nd run with line completely removed...

This one is from the line corrected by me before 2nd run...

Now, something about most recent tests...

I discovered that removing the line completely doesn't solve issue...but line
will be rebuild by game...with incorrect value....

I did noticed that the log with corrected line (and so, with sound playing
properly) it says a lot of times in the log:

...:trace:dsound:DSOUND_MixToPrimary Mixed at least 2048 from all buffers

OTOH, both logs with incorrect value in the line or without line at all say
instead:

...:trace:dsound:DSOUND_MixToPrimary Mixed at least 0 from all buffers

Should i send the other two logs ?

> and of a 2nd run with line completely removed...

So if you remove the line, it gets re-added with the incorrect value? I think
that log would be most useful. It might tell us where it's getting the value
from. Use the same command as from comment 7.

Ping. Could you get me a log with a working settings.ini, but with the Speakers
line completely removed?

Also have it in 1.7.16, but not audio in general, just voices in cutscenes.

Thanks for retesting. Would you consider this bug fixed? Or AJSB, if you're
still watching this bug?
