is there a way to purposely disable mic capture in wine

Post by hopeyeu »

I am using an application (game) that seems to use a sort of peer-to-peer hosting method, and when a new 'host' is decided upon, the mic settings (which is set in the application to disabled) grab hold of the mic and take it completely over. This behaviour renders other functioning voice applications muted - forcing a restart of them (up until a new host is found in the game, causing this issue to reoccur).

Is there some way to set wine's 'mic capture' to none? Make it refer to null? Some registry entry that might do this ("hey app, ignore sound system, there isn't anything to capture")?

I don't know if it's possible to disable capture without disabling audio entirely.

I wouldn't expect Wine to interfere with other programs using the same device. What sound driver are you using?
