Description abugreporter 2011-01-23 13:27:03 UTC
Description of problem:
All wine run applications do not have sound. Wine comes with winecfg which has a sound test 
In winecfg there is a sound test (Audio -> Test sound). Under sound devices I have ALSA selected and I verified via 
$ speaker-test -twav
that my sound works. I heard "Front Left".

The output I got on the terminal however was: 
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HD-Audio Generic, disabling mixer
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HD-Audio Generic, disabling mixer
fixme:winmm:proc_PlaySound Couldn't play header
fixme:winmm:proc_PlaySound Couldn't play header

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wine-1.3.10-1.fc14.x86_64

I expected: no output on terminal and the standard sound which wine makes when you press the "Test sound" button. 

Further information: 
Audio in other applications than wine via PulseAudio works correctly. I also tried using the PulseAudio sound device, but that also doesn't work.

Comment 1 Andreas Bierfert 2011-03-01 16:27:01 UTC
Just to understand you correctly:

Is sound broken in all applications you try to run via wine or is only the button 'Test Sound' in winecfg broken?

Comment 2 Vadim Raskhozhev 2011-03-01 16:46:38 UTC
I'm not an original bug submitter but I have exactly the same problem, e. g. no
sound in any application I try to run via wine with all the symptoms mentioned
in the report

Comment 3 Andreas Bierfert 2011-03-01 17:01:16 UTC
Do you use pulseaudio on your system? 

What sound driver did you select in winecfg?

Could you post a list of wine packages you have installed.

Comment 4 Vadim Raskhozhev 2011-03-01 17:39:57 UTC
> Do you use pulseaudio on your system?

Usually I do not (alsa is my everyday choice), but tried to install it to check if it helps. It didn't. Non-wine applications have been working OK with pulseaudio as well as without it

> What sound driver did you select in winecfg?

Tried alsa driver first (with no PA installed and wine-alsa present) and pulseaudio then (with both PA and wine-pulseaudio set up)

> Could you post a list of wine packages you have installed.

My current setup:

wine-alsa-1.3.12-1.fc14.x86_64
wine-capi-1.3.12-1.fc14.i686
wine-capi-1.3.12-1.fc14.x86_64
wine-cms-1.3.12-1.fc14.i686
wine-cms-1.3.12-1.fc14.x86_64

wine-core-1.3.12-1.fc14.i686
wine-core-1.3.12-1.fc14.x86_64

wine-twain-1.3.12-1.fc14.x86_64
wine-wow-1.3.12-1.fc14.x86_64

As I mentioned above, I've also tried wine-pulseaudio (and appropriate pulseaudio package, of course), but with no success

Same here with wine-1.3.14-2.fc14.x86_64

Test sound doesn't work with Pulse, Alsa and Oss drivers.

At the same time 32-bit version wine.1.3.14-2.fc14.i686 works great with Pulse. 

If I first install 32-bit version, do initial configuration with winecfg, then remove wine.i686 package and install wine.x86_64, sound does work with old ~/.wine folder.

Yes, sound works for me that way at least with alsa.
wine-1.3.17-1.fc14.x86_64

But this is a wrong way.

 With 32-bit configuration folder 64-bit Wine does work but complains about some errors. And these errors became critical after nonpolite halting the system. So after day or two I had to switch back to 32-bit wine to run it again.

So I'd better use 32-bit version till this bug is fixed.

Comment 9 Sergio Basto 2011-04-30 02:22:26 UTC
rpm -q wine
message : "fixme:winmm:proc_PlaySound Couldn't play header" disappears, 
test sound it self I don't work ,
gives a message : 
err:winmm:proc_PlaySound Aborting play loop, waveOutWrite error

But I have sound in win apps, which is my goal.

thanks,

(In reply to comment #9)
with wine-1.3.18-1.fc14.x86_64

Comment 11 Tomasz R 2011-05-14 14:10:29 UTC
For me sound works perfectly in application, but I couldn't test my sound in winecfg:
err:winmm:proc_PlaySound Aborting play loop, waveOutWrite error

I have wine-core-1.3.19

Comment 12 gatlibs 2011-06-12 23:56:50 UTC
On initial run of winecfg, upon clicking the "Audio" tab, it chooses - correctly - PulseAudio as my default and only driver. It opens a pop-up box that reads an error after clicking "Test Sound". After having exited the first instance of winecfg after an update/install clicking the "Test Sound" seemingly just does nothing.

This is wine-1.3.21 from upgrades-testing F15.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26271 <- pretty gay.

Comment 13 Sergio Basto 2011-07-14 21:15:23 UTC
with 
wine-1.3.23-1.fc15.x86_64

I heard something :) 
for me this bug should be closed

Comment 14 Andreas Bierfert 2011-07-15 05:28:20 UTC
Thanks for the feedback. Confirmed with .24 on rawhide. Closing.
